Description
"I was asked a question about doping in swimming and I answered it honestly," said American swimmer Ryan Murphy on Sunday, after comments earlier this week sparked a US-Russia war of words over doping.
The storm broke out when Murphy said he had been "swimming in a race that's probably not clean" after Russian Evgeny Rylov beat him in the 200m backstroke.
