I will stand by this. Happy to be wrong, but I'm confident I'm right. US will make it impossible for Chinese to send a swimming delegation to LA in 2028. They will threaten them with arrest under the table, while suggesting Chinese absence is a tacit admission of cheating.
Racism is still the bedrock of many Westerner's world view. To them, East Asians should stay in their category of sports that requires more techniques than power. Swimming was the last holdout for sports racialist white people.
