Chinese Swimmers Should Be Questioned

Gil Wong (Letters, Sept. 10) has it wrong. Racism or anti-Asian bias is not the reason American media, athletes and coaches are so suspicious of the performance of Chinese women swimmers at the World Championships in Rome.

The reason is quite simple: They’ve been caught cheating in the past and there are ample grounds for suspicion that they’re up to their old tricks again.
