Olympic swimmer McLaughlin says hearts and faith in fairness broken after dope test–positive Chinese swimmer scandal in Tokyo

Former Olympic Swimmer Katie McLaughlin says in opening testimony at a Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Technology, and Data Privacy hearing about lacking international response to Chinese doping in Olympic swimming that at 15 she made national team for first time and entered anti-doping testing program, meaning officials knew where she would be 24/7 every day of year and could show up at house, school or practice anytime anywhere for random drug testing, which they did over next 10 years with her being tested more times than she could count, but never questioning it because she believed everyone did the same and believed in system and fair play, never considering anyone might not feel the same, with competing clean being not just rule but responsibility representing country, teammates and family, wanting to know she earned her place honestly, with her relay team asking to be tested even without winning gold to document their pride in racing clean.
