Qin and Sun Jiajun helped their nation claim gold but were two of 23 Chinese swimmers who tested positive for the banned substance trimetazidine prior to the Tokyo Olympics.
READ: Adam Peaty has questioned the legitimacy of China 's victory in the men's 4x100 metres medley relay - warning Olympic officials to 'wake up and do your job'.
Both Katie Ledecky and Caeleb Dressel expressed their misgivings, with Peaty joining the clamour on the final night of action in the pool as he singled out Qin for criticism. Peaty said: 'If you touch and you know that you're cheating, you're not winning. For me, if you've been on that and you have been ''contaminated'' twice, I think as an honourable person you should be out of the sport.
While he is uncertain about his future in the sport, Peaty insisted every Team GB swimmer will use the row surrounding the Chinese swimmers as fuel for the fire ahead of the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles - but called on anti-doping bosses to do more.
