When asked if she thought the allegations were rooted in bias against China, Ye replied: "It's possible."

"Nobody ever suspected other countries' multigold winners. Why doubt me? I just won two," she said.

Ye's counterpart Sun Yang, who also made history by being China's first male gold medalist swimmer after winning the 400m freestyle, was quick to offer his support.

The doubt is unfair and does not take account of the effort involved, he said.

The Americans can win many gold medals without being questioned, but we can't, he added.

Ye was tested and cleared by the authorities.

Colin Moynihan, chairman of the British Olympic Association, told a news conference on Tuesday that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) conducted a test on Ye and it was clean.

"She's been through WADA's program and she's clean. That's the end of the story. Ye deserves recognition for her talent," he said.

China's anti-doping chief revealed Chinese athletes have undergone nearly 100 drug tests since arriving in London, and not a single one has tested positive.

"Ye's great talent was recognized at an early age and her performance vindicates her," Xu Qi, head of the Chinese swimming team, told Xinhua News Agency. "Don't use your suspicions to knock down others."

Ye attributed her rise to what every great athlete attributes their rise to, hard work.

Ye underwent grueling training in Brisbane, Australia with two renowned coaches Dennis Cotterell and Ken Wood after last year's Shanghai Worlds.
