Shayna Jack, whose two-year drugs ban deprived her of a place at the Olympics in 2021, has responded to the news three Chinese gold medallists from Tokyo tested positive to Clenbuterol in 2016-17.
Australian swimmer Shayna Jack has declared she won’t let the latest Chinese doping scandal derail her maiden Olympic campaign after news of further positive tests emerged on Saturday morning, raising questions of double standards by world anti-doping agencies.
“Clenbuterol, which is a prohibited substance in sport, is used in some countries as a growth promoter for farm animals and, under specific circumstances, can result in a positive sample from an athlete who consumes meat from animals treated in that way,” the statement read. Wang Shun won gold in the 200m individual medley in Tokyo, while Yang Junxuan was a member of the victorious Chinese 4x200m freestyle relay team.
“For now, I’m just focusing on my dream and not letting anything crush that,” Jack told this masthead on the final day of Australia’s Olympic and Paralympic trials in Brisbane on Saturday. “To be honest, I’ve tried to put it on the back burner for now.
