Controversy Surrounding Chinese Swimmers
The first of the finales of the night was greeted with equal parts enthusiasm and doubt because of a recent scandal on the Chinese swimmers’ use of banned substances. Zhang Yufei also known as the “Butterfly Queen” has also been under scrutiny after it was brought out that many in this sport engage in doping. Swimming Anti-Doping News: The New York Times & German broadcaster ARD alleged that 23 Chinese swimmers, Zhang included tested positive for Sildenafil; a heart medication that is banned by the Wada code but competitors can still swim in the Tokyo Olympics.Although WADA has not revealed the names of any swimmer, China said the positive anabolics stem from contaminated food at a hotel, an argument backed by an independent investigation. This controversy came back to the discussion table on Tuesday when the New York Times disclosed that two more Chinese swimmers had tested positive for to use of a banned steroid in 2022 but were allowed back in the pool after the favourable result was attributed to tainted food. The supervision of doping issues in China was claimed to be weakened by the New York Times, by politicizing the doping issues to sabotage the performance of China’s athletes during the Paris Olympics through its agency, CHINADA.
