Lu tests positive

CHINA'S 1,500-meter women's national champion Sun Lu has tested positive for a diuretic, the country's anti-doping body said yesterday. Sun was found using hydrochlorothiazide, a medicine that treats fluid retention and high blood pressure and can be used to cover the traces of other performance-enhancing drugs, the China Anti-Doping Agency said. Sun, who had requested an analysis of her B sample which was also positive, gave up the right for a hearing. Sun, from central Henan Province, won the women's 1,500 title at last year's national championships and the positive test is expected to bring a ban that will keep her from this year's National Games, a multi-sport meeting held every four years.
