The global sports doping watchdog World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accepted the assessment without an appeal.
Concern only deepened Tuesday, after WADA acknowledged a separate 2022 case in which two Chinese swimmers tested positive for “trace amounts of a prohibited substance metandienone,” a banned anabolic steroid.
“I feel so wronged,” said Zhang, denying that Chinese swimmers engaged in doping.
The 2022 case, reported by the Times earlier this week, involves a swimmer on the Chinese roster in Paris, according to the paper.
Personally, I believe that seven doping tests in one day might have disrupted our Chinese swimming team,” Gao wrote on Weibo.
