Michael Phelps recalled being labeled a “cheater” throughout his career while addressing the recent Chinese doping scandal.
The 39-year-old swimmer intensified his stance on the issue and advocated for a lifetime ban for athletes caught using banned substances.
“If everybody is not going through that same testing, I have a serious problem because it means the level of sport is not fair and it’s not even. If you’re taking that risk, then you don’t belong in here,” he said during a press availability set up by one of his sponsors, Omega.
