If this was an Australian swimmer we would be adoring her and not calling her a cheater.
China has a deep-rooted culture in cheating however, Australia does not. Just look at their business models over there, everything is ripped off without a second thought....it's cultural, not just sports related. That and the fact they have a long an established history of systematic doping when it comes to swimming. They were the East Germany of the 90s.

So yeah, it's a deep rooted prejudice. But it's their own damn fault.
