CHINA should make it a criminal offense to give banned performance-enhancing substances to athletes and jail those found guilty, a leading sports ministry official has said.
Jiang Zhixue, director of the science and education department at the sports ministry, said there was insufficient deterrent for coaches and officials who administer drugs to athletes. "We are confined to punishing them technically, giving them bans or fines but nothing more," Jiang said. "The (current) regulations have certain connection with the criminal law but the criminal law doesn't have specific terms regarding this
area."
