8 athletes caught doping before Games
Print Edition
Doping violations have increased in China ahead of the National Games with eight athletes testing positive in the second quarter, the country’s anti-doping authorities said yesterday.
A total of 12 positive cases have been registered this year, matching the number of violations in 2012, China’s Anti-Doping Agency said.
“The number of positive cases has largely increased compared with that of last year, which sent us a warning,” anti-doping chief He Zhenwen told Xinhua news agency.
“There always will be someone who risks doping for unfair advantage when the return is lucrative,” He added.
The Games start on August 31 in Shenyang, Liaoning Province.
