Aussie sporting royalty have reacted with scorn as bombshell new details emerged around the doping scandal that’s rocked the Olympics.23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for a banned drug
The Times reported that they tested positive for a prescription heart drug, trimetazidine — which can enhance performance — at a domestic meet in late 2020 and the first days of 2021. WADA, in a statement on Saturday decrying “some misleading and potentially defamatory media coverage this week”, said that it had “ultimately concluded that it was not in a position to disprove the possibility that contamination was the source of TMZ and it was compatible with the analytical data in the file”.
Shayna Jack’s lawyer Tim Fuller said it was “inexplicable” why WADA didn’t challenge the verdict made by the China anti-doping body. It’s not known who tested positive, but the members of China’s relay team were Yang Junxuan, Tang Muhan, Zhang Yufei, and Li Bingjie in the finals, along with Dong Jie and Zhang Yifan in the prelims.
World Aquatics confirmed to the Times the cases had been reviewed by a doping control board and were subjected to independent expert scrutiny. “The data held by us clearly showed that there had been no attempt to hide the positive tests as they had been reported in the usual way by the Chinese authorities. Therefore, based on the available information and a lack of any credible evidence, the threshold for WADA I&I to open an investigation was not met.
