WADA Upholds Decision: Chinese Swimmers Cleared for 2020 Tokyo Olympics Due to Contaminated Samples

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) confirmed reports on Saturday that 23 Chinese swimmers had tested positive for a banned substance before the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, but accepted the country's explanation that it was due to substance contamination. Media reports revealed that the swimmers had tested positive for trimetazidine (TMZ), a substance found in heart medication, several months prior to the Games, which were postponed due to COVID-19 and eventually held in July 2021. #WADA #China #worldnews #doping Moneycontrol is India's leading financial and business portal with in-depth market coverage, analysis, expert opinions, and a gamut of financial tools.
