Duncan Scott - who finished fourth in the men's 200m freestyle final - will be looking to secure an individual medal when he lines up for the 200IM final in Paris tonight. Scott enters the race as the fourth-favourite in the market - with the Brit boosted from 11/1 to 12/1 to claim his second gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics. After qualifying second fastest in the heats - Scott followed that up with a solid semi-final performance that saw him qualify third fastest for the final. The three swimmers who are better backed than Scott in the market include France's Leon Marchand, Wang Shun and Carson Foster at 1/5, 8/1 and 9/1 respectively. Meanwhile, Scott is priced at a much shorter 4/5 to win a medal according to Sky Bet.

The international swimming federation says its top administrator has been ordered to testify as a witness in a U.S. criminal investigation into the case of 23 Chinese swimmers who failed doping tests in 2021 yet were allowed to continue competing. The news comes just three weeks before the Paris Olympics, where 11 of the Chinese swimmers who tested positive for the banned heart medication three years ago are set to compete. The swimmers won three gold medals for China at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, just weeks after the World Anti-Doping Agency declined to challenge Chinese authorities' explanation of food contamination at a hotel to justify not suspending them.

The body responsible for policing doping in world sport is facing demands for total reform in the wake of the swimming scandal that saw 23 Chinese athletes secretly cleared to compete at the Tokyo Olympics despite positive drugs tests. The United States Anti-Doping Agency issued a scathing attack on the World Anti-Doping Agency following the latter's assertion on Monday that they would 'not do anything different' in their handling of the affair. The astonishing case, which only came to light over the weekend, centres on 23 athletes who were exonerated by Chinese authorities after the banned substance trimetazidine was found in their samples in 2021, just months before the Olympics.

Grant Hackett has taken a swipe at the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and China over a bombshell Chinese doping scandal from the Tokyo Olympics that could result in Aussie women being promoted to silver medallists. It was revealed on Saturday that 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for a banned substance before the Olympics but were still cleared to compete. The tests were all collected in January 2021, ahead of the Tokyo Games where two of those who tested positive, Zhang Yufei and Wang Shun, won gold medals.

The tests were all collected in January 2021, ahead of the Tokyo Games where two of those who tested positive, Zhang Yufei and Wang Shun, won gold medals. All 23 positives were for trimetazidine, a medicine normally used to prevent angina attacks - and the same substance which saw teenage figure skater Kamila Valieva banned for four years.
