Doping Scandal: 23 Chinese Swimmers Test Positive Ahead of Paris Olympics
Jul 26, 2024, 06:00 PM
As the Paris 2024 Olympics commence, a doping scandal involving China's national swim team has cast a shadow over the event. The controversy stems from allegations that 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for banned substances in late 2020 and early 2021. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has been criticized for its handling of the situation, with U.S. anti-doping officials calling it a 'deep betrayal' of fair competition. Qin Haiyang, a prominent Chinese swimmer and rival to Adam Peaty for the 100m breaststroke gold, has claimed that the doping tests are part of a 'European and American plot' against China's swimming team. Frank Pallone is leading a bipartisan effort to get answers from WADA. The issue has raised significant concerns about the integrity of WADA and the fairness of the Games.
