They called them completely unfounded internet drivel.
Some accounts on Instagram had noted that the Greek swimmer's hand appeared to touch the wall after his time of 20.81 seconds flashed up on the screen.
but the Enhanced Games denied there was any malfeasance.
They say they use their recognised, reputable iOS certified system using countless other international events and it is never questioned.

I also looked up Shane Ryan's performances.
Second in the 50-meter backstroke, he got $125,000 for that.
And third in the 100-meter freestyle, he got $75,000 for that, but didn't break a personal best in either, which I found interesting after the training he would have done.
Max McCusker, the other Irish competitor, got third in the 100-meter butterfly, $75,000.
He got a personal best, and he came fourth out of four in the 50-meter butterfly, got $50,000 for that, though, and broke a personal best as well.
