Olympic medalist Yevgeny Korotyshkin told that the situation of Chinese swimmers would not prevent them from participating in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
Earlier, media reported that in January 2021, 23 Chinese swimmers had positive doping tests for trimetazidine. Then Chinese athletes were allowed to compete in the Tokyo Olympics. On April 13, WADA announced that it was not punishing Chinese athletes because it could not refute the Chinese Anti-Doping Agency’s (CHINADA) verdict that a banned substance had inadvertently entered the athletes’ bodies. athletes.
— Athletes are always responsible for what goes into their bodies. It seems to me that it is not very fair when some people are disqualified for the same offense, while others get the green light.
— Now this story is in the spotlight. Don’t you have the feeling that the Chinese will have problems before Paris, like the Russians before Rio, with all the consequences that ensue?
– Barely. The story is already old, WADA is unlikely to back down, and even if there are lawsuits, they tend to drag on. It is unlikely that a decision will be made before Paris,” Korotyshkin told .
The Paris Olympic Games will take place from July 26 to August 11.
