葉詩文On Monday, top US coach John Leonard questioned Chinese teen swimmer Ye Shiwen's record-breaking 400m swim as 'unbelievable' and 'disturbing'. Ye passed a drugs test, while angry Chinese supporters, including Shiwen's father, have hit back at 'the arrogance of the west'. Does Leonard owe Ye Shiwen an apology?
周一，美國隊總教練John Leonard質疑中國女子游泳運動員葉詩文，認為她400米的破紀錄之舉乃是令人不安且難以置信的。葉詩文此前已通過藥檢，而憤怒的中國支持者抨擊之前部分“西方媒體的狂妄自負”，其中就包括葉詩文的父親。如今葉詩文通過藥檢，Leonard是否該為其言論向葉詩文致歉呢？
以下為部分網友留言意見：
TotallyBlunt：When I read about the American coach's comment, I didn't think arrogant West. I thought jealous and unable to accept competition。
“當我讀到美國教練的評論時，我認為這不是西方的自大。他們如此的評論僅是自私且不甘接受比賽結果的體現。”
Brownly：No. He doesn't need to make any special apology.Even though the girl's been cleared, the initial suspicion was fair. Though if asked about it, I hope Leonard will be gracious。
“不，Leonard他沒必要道歉。即便那名中國姑娘已經證明其清白，之前的質疑也還是公平的。就算Leonard先前質疑過，我也還是希望現在他能大度些。”
葉詩文legaff：As I have said countless times over the past few days, what we are seeing is the investment the Chinese team made in the pool in the lead-up to Beijing (Sun Yang being another who has benefited from their investment). Ye Shiwen is the product of incredible work & scientific selection processes that the China team have been working toward for over a decade. Her performances simply must be applauded rather than doubted.If she wasn't Chinese, I am not sure Leonard would have made his comments public。
“之前幾天我就說過無數次了，我們看到的是中國隊在北京的準備期間，為他們的游泳項目大力投入(孫楊也是這些投入的另一受益者)。葉詩文的成功，是科學的選拔過程和艱苦努力的結果，中國隊為了這些成就已經努力了十幾年。因此她的表現不應被質疑，而應受到表揚。如果她不是中國人，我相信Leonard就不會那么公開地進行質疑了。”
ddarko：I look forward to John Leonard questioning the legitimacy of 41-year-old American swimmer Dara Torres winning a silver medal in the 50m freestyle at the Beijing Olympics with a time that set an American record. I expect we'll never hear it。
“我很好奇John Leonard會不會質疑北京奧運期間41歲的美國運動員Dara Torres 50米自由泳奪取銀牌的合法性。那個時候Dara也破了美國記錄。我們應該從來沒聽過Leonard質疑Dara吧！”
