Rio Olympics 2016: Lilly King says U.S. team no place for dopers Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay

Lilly King is certainly making a splash in and out of the pool in Rio this week.

When she's not setting world records and winning gold medals, she's being outspoken about how she feels about those caught doping. Originally, her sights were set on Russian swimmer Yulia Efimova, who was embroiled in a doping controversy prior to competing at this year's Summer Olympics. Now, King isn't just seeing red, but the white and the blue, as well.
