For amongst other things, spouting completely unfounded hurtful accusations and let's face it verging on racist against a Chinese swimmer.

Plenty of 15-16 year olds improve by seconds at that age - if it was a Brit doing the same it would have all been down to hard work and training. (NAP)

Anything anyone famous says is always taken out of context,a sort of get out of jail free card.

Surprised at that this morning , Apfelstrudel .

Maybe if we won a gold it might deflect some of the diatribes we get from the commentators who only can see red white and blue . Olympics is about sport , and youth ( although the equestrian competitors are challenging that ) , have to take performances at face value until proven otherwise . Heck , Michelle from our neck of the woods still has her 3 Olympic medals .

I'd happily see her arrested but I don't see an issue with posing the question
Report HansUlrichApfelStrudel • August 1, 2012 2:30 PM BST
Would she have asked the same question if a Brit showed the same improvement Don?

Don't think amyone would question her improvement in time the problem is the time for the freestyle leg she did which was ridiculous.

The Lituanian girl improved at least as much as the Chinese so what is the difference?

Exactly, especially when Eastern Europeans has a proven history of performance enhancing drugs Wink

I thought she would have been arrested years ago for impersonating a sports presenterMischief
Report YOMOMMA • August 1, 2012 5:03 PM BST
She should be arrested for being fat and knowing nothing about sport aswell as for mocking people about their teeth on live TV. Class A idiot.

Guilt by association. China is trying to shake off its image but only a couple of months ago another of their young swimmers was caught.

Arrest her for what exactly?

Posing a question?

If you think thats a jailable offence, god help us.

More specifically why does no one question the Jamaican sprinters?  Bolt included?

I don't care who wins what as long as Clare Balding gets arrested, she is an annoying moo.
Report cricnut • August 1, 2012 9:58 PM BST
at least, she's away from the geegees, why anyone would have her on any sports programme is completly beyond me.

I presume the BBC think the viewing public need to be patronised.
Report Srichaphan or Ancic? • August 3, 2012 6:36 PM BST
She is the best sports presenter.
Report Fenway • August 3, 2012 7:16 PM BST
I cannot listen to her, she is so bloody serious about it all. Shocking.
Report silvergreaser • August 3, 2012 7:23 PM BST
That air of superiority oozes out of her pores, this is a person who is well aware of her place in society.
