Tong gets 2-year ban for positive dope test
CHINESE Olympic judo champion Tong Wen has been banned for two years and stripped of her world title after failing a doping test at the world championships in the Netherlands last year.
Tong, who claimed the women's +78kg title at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and won a fourth world championship at Rotterdam, had tested positive for banned substance Clenbuterol, the International Judo Federation issued on Friday.
Ma Wenguang, the director of China's weightlifting, wrestling and judo administration centre, said the sport's governing body "would seriously deal with it."
Clenbuterol is often used to treat breathing disorders, rising blood pressure and for oxygen transportation.
"(It) can boost muscle, like an anabolic steroid," Zhao Jian, deputy director of the China Anti-Doping Agency, said.
"We had tested Tong last year before she went to the Netherlands but found nothing at that moment," Zhao added.
