Swimming chiefs confirm US criminal investigation into Chinese athletes who competed at 2021 Olympics despite FAILING doping tests

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 4, 2024
The international swimming federation says its top administrator has been ordered to testify as a witness in a U.S. criminal investigation into the case of 23 Chinese swimmers who failed doping tests in 2021 yet were allowed to continue competing. The news comes just three weeks before the Paris Olympics, where 11 of the Chinese swimmers who tested positive for the banned heart medication three years ago are set to compete. The swimmers won three gold medals for China at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, just weeks after the World Anti-Doping Agency declined to challenge Chinese authorities' explanation of food contamination at a hotel to justify not suspending them.

World Anti-Doping Agency facing calls for reform following the scandal which saw 23 Chinese athletes, including two gold medallists, secretly cleared to compete at Tokyo Olympics, despite testing positive ahead of the Games

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 23, 2024
The body responsible for policing doping in world sport is facing demands for total reform in the wake of the swimming scandal that saw 23 Chinese athletes secretly cleared to compete at the Tokyo Olympics despite positive drugs tests. The United States Anti-Doping Agency issued a scathing attack on the World Anti-Doping Agency following the latter's assertion on Monday that they would 'not do anything different' in their handling of the affair. The astonishing case, which only came to light over the weekend, centres on 23 athletes who were exonerated by Chinese authorities after the banned substance trimetazidine was found in their samples in 2021, just months before the Olympics.
