World Aquatics appoints panel to probe Chinese swimmers’ doping case
The International Swimming Federation (World Aquatics) has appointed a commission to review the doping case against Chinese swimmers. About this on social network X wrote The Times journalist Matt Lawton.
He stated that the commission consists of five people. She will conduct an anti-doping audit.
On April 20, it became known that in January 2021, trimetazidine was detected in the samples of 23 Chinese swimmers. China said traces of the drug were found in the kitchen of the hotel where the athletes stayed during the competition. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) did not punish the swimmers, allowing them to compete at the 2020 Olympics.
WADA later explained the difference in verdicts in the cases of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva and Chinese swimmers. WADA said that in the case of the Chinese swimmers there was no evidence pointing to a doping scenario, and the findings supported the theory of accidental contamination.
