Australia’s silver medallist Kyle Chalmers finished a yawning 1.08 seconds behind Pan, while David Popovici finished a further 0.01 second behind for the bronze. A doping storm has followed China’s swim team to Paris after revelations in April that 23 Chinese athletes had tested positive for a banned heart medication but were allowed to swim at the Tokyo Games. China said the athletes were victims of contamination from a hotel kitchen, and an independent review backed the World Anti-Doping Agency’s handling of the case.
He said he had been tested more than 20 times over the past few months but trod a diplomatic path when asked whether it had affected him.
