August 02, 2012  12:11
Relishing global spotlight, Chinese swimming prodigy Ye Shiwen dismissed doubts of doping about her two gold-winning performances in London Games, saying that the allegations are "bit unfair" but wants to know why she is being targeted even after she was cleared of the charges.

Handling bouquets and brickbats with a sense of ease, the 16-year-old Ye, who is now famously known all over her country and the world as YE'S, said, "the allegations are a little bit unfair, but I am not affected by them at all."

Asked by the state media whether the allegations were rooted in bias against China, Ye, who was grilled at the press meet by foreign media even after she was cleared of doping charges by coaches of her rivals, said, "It's possible. Nobody ever suspected other countries' multi-gold medal winners. Why doubt me? I just won two."
