Ye Shiwen swam faster in the last 50m of the 400m medley than her counterpart in the men's race
Chinese
gold medallist swimmer Ye Shiwen, 16, has denied taking drugs to
enhance her performance, saying there was "no problem with doping".
A US coach earlier said Ye's record-breaking performance in Saturday's 400m individual medley was "disturbing". Elsewhere, police are investigating an allegedly offensive tweet sent to UK diver Tom Daley about his late father.

John Leonard - the executive director of the World Swimming Coaches Association - said her performance was "unbelievable".
But Ye Shiwen said: "There is no problem with doping. The Chinese team has a firm policy so there is no problem with that."
All medal winners at the Olympics are automatically drug-tested.

They had initially won silver,
but were demoted after fourth-place Japan successfully challenged the
result, moving up to silver.
UK Sport chief executive Liz Nicoll said Team GB had made a good start."We want more medals than Beijing so at least 48 medals in at least 12 sports, that's the official target for the outcome from these games," she said.
"Three fantastic medals, the bronze medal from the men's team gymnastics was outstanding, that's a moment in history, that was not predicted."
Games organisers Locog put more Olympic tickets on sale overnight but will not confirm the details of the latest release until a media conference later on Tuesday.
It is making seats available day-by-day after criticism of empty seats which had been allocated to sports federations.
