Gymnastics: One more piece to go! Louis Smith, Max Whitlock and Brinn Bevan on the running order. On the scoreboard, there are just 2.5 points separating Russia in first and GB in third, with China in the silver position.

Good morning and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of day four at the Rio Olympic Games, where a drugs row has erupted in the heated rivalry between newly crowned 100m breaststroke Olympic champion Lilly King and the controversial Russian Yulia Efimova.

King has also taken aim at her USA teammate Justin Gatlin by claiming he - nor anyone else who has failed a drugs test and served a ban - should be competing at the Olympics.

Jack de Menezes9 August 2016 08:09

Here's the latest from our chief sports writer, Ian Herbert, out in Rio as the feud between King and Efimova reached boiling point in an emotional and dramatic press conference. King has been outspoken in her belief that drug cheats should not be allowed to compete in the Olympic Games, and despite Efimova sitting next to her, she made it clear what she thinks of the Russian swimmer.

Canoe slalom: Here comes David Florence for Team GB and he is very much in contention for a medal as we wait for news from Andy Murray in the tennis. If you need a crash course in slalom racing, the aim is to get down the 250m course as quickly as possible. That sounds simple enough. However, you then have to make sure you pass through the gates (up to 25 of them) and six of those happen to be upstream. Time penalties await if you miss/forget one.

Canoe slalom: With a massive show of upper-body strength, Team GB's David Florence reaches the final of the canoe slalom contest. He gets around in 99.36 seconds and that's enough to put him in a good position to bring home a medal.

Andy Murray has continued his fine summer form in Rio

Men's tennis singles: Wimbledon champion Andy Murray secures a straight sets victory against Juan Monaco to set up a third-round tie against Frenchman Fabio Fognini or Italy's Benoit Paire. Routine stuff from the Scot, dispatching his Argentinian opponent 6-3 6-1.

The dangers posed in Rio have been well documented, but last night to threatened to come to reality after a bus carrying journalists from the Olympic Village was apparently attacked by gunmen. Thankfully there have been no reported injuries, and we can gladly report that our reporters out in Rio made it home safe and well to enjoy their Pot Noodle and Cheetos dinner. No expense spared.

It was a night to remember for Michael Phelps as gold medals 20 and 21 arrived in the form of the 200m butterfly and 4x200m freestyle relay, but there was a moment of controversy shortly after his first victory of the night. Phelps was seen wagging his finger in celebration, but given everything that has gone on in recent days when Lilly King did the same towards Yulia Efimova, was this Phelps's way of taking a stance against drug cheats?
