RIO DE JANEIRO -- Australias two gold medals on the opening night of swimming competition each had a slightly different gleam.Distance freestyler and Olympic rookie Mack Horton won the 400-meter freestyle Saturday and said he was propelled by self-belief. Later in the evening, the favored womens 400 freestyle relay, led by star sisters Cate and Bronte Campbell, defended the event title and set a world record of 3 minutes, 30.65 seconds.Cate Campbell said the repeat -- even though it came by a greater margin than four years ago -- was harder because of the expectations the quartet carried.But, she added, I think Mack was the real hero.It was more than a kind pat on the back from a more experienced teammate. Horton reeled in early leader James Guy of Great Britain and held off 2012 champion Sun Yang of China in the stretch, but it was his blunt talk about doping before and after the race that set him apart.I guess I wouldnt really feel right if I raced at this stage against someone who has tested positive and didnt bring it up, Horton said of Yang, who served a controversial three-month suspension in 2014 due to a positive test for the stimulant trimetazidine. News of the sanction surfaced months after Yang, a double gold medalist in the 400- and 1,500-meter events in London, served the ban.After Saturday afternoons preliminary heats, Horton said he ignored Yangs attempt to provoke him by splashing him in a training session earlier in the week. I dont have time or respect for drug cheats, Horton said.While straight-up personal tension certainly fueled Hortons remarks, they also tap into more general and long-standing suspicion of doping in Chinas swimming program. Most recently, the World Anti-Doping Agency and FINA, swimmings world governing body, said earlier this year that whistleblowers claims of positive test cover-ups first revealed in The Times of London were being investigated.Beyond that, the overall disarray in international anti-doping jurisprudence -- laid bare by the dysfunctional process that cleared the way for so many Russian athletes (including swimmers) to compete in Rio despite compelling evidence of pervasive state-sponsored doping -- has prompted an increasing number of athletes to question a system that is supposed to protect them.Often the most corrosive aspects of doping is the internal toll it can take on the psyche of the athlete in the next lane who wonders if his opponent has an insurmountable advantage. Horton said he doesnt lack for confidence, but part of his decision to go public was directed back at himself, saying aloud what he needed to execute in the water.That last 25, that last 15, I felt I had concrete blocks on my arms, basically, but then I kind of flashed back to my statement this morning, Horton said. I dont really have a choice to let him beat me. I kind of have to beat him now. So thats what I did.Horton said he thought about the message he wanted to convey, and if a reporter hadnt brought it up, I probably would have slipped it in there somewhere. He said he hopes other athletes speak their minds on the topic.It will add even more electricity to an already charged atmosphere if they do. Gianluigi Buffon Jersey .

Watch the first Test between India and England in Rajkot on Wednesday, live from 3.30am on Sky Sports 2 India vs England November 9, 2016, 3:30am Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass I think its going to be a good series. Everyone seems to think that England havent got a chance but I dont think you should underestimate this team, he said.The toss is massive and I think if England can win a few of them then theres every chance they can nick a Test match.India will have watched the Bangladesh series and think they need to produce turning pitches as well, but in a way that gives England a chance. Stuart Broad says hes excited at potentially earning his 100th England Test cap in the first match against India I know Englands spinners didnt produce in the two-match series but if you get on a surface which is ragging from ball one, then theres a chance they make it hard work for Indias batsmen, if they bowl better.ddddddddddddI cant see there being many draws with the nature of Test cricket right now. India are right to be favourites but I think that it will be a bit closer than people are suggesting and Id be looking at 3-2 for the home side.The former England batsman is also taking on the favourites in the top batsman market, tipping Moeen Ali to be the tourists top scorer. Sky Bet odds Agree with Key? India to win the series 3-2 is 16/1 with Sky Bet He added: Joe Root is absolutely Englands best player but the bet I would look at is Moeen Ali at 12/1.If you want a favourite then Root is well worthy, but if you want some real value then look at Ali.Theres every chance Ali bats four or five. He batted well at five against Bangladesh and hes going to get plenty of opportunities.Hes a fine batsman and before he played for England he was one of the top batsmen in country cricket. He was a proper top-order batsman and I think hes going to be important for England.England take on India in the first Test of their five-match tour, in Rajkot, from 3.30am this Wednesday on Sky Sports 2.
