Two Chinese swimmers tested positive for a banned drug in 2022 and were secretly cleared by Chinese authorities, who cited tainted hamburgers as the cause. The drug, a powerful anabolic steroid, is not widely found in meat. Despite this, WADA accepted China's reasoning. One of the athletes, who tested positive in 2022, is currently part of the Olympic team for Paris 2024. This incident follows previous instances where China blamed contaminated food for positive doping tests.
