adminBEIJING. — Two Chinese swimmers who tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs have been given only warnings as a result, the national swimming body said as the World Anti-Doping Agency investigates an alleged cover-up.
The pair, Wang Lizhuo and An Jiabao, tested positive for muscle-building drug clenbuterol, the China Swimming Association (CSA) said in separate statements on its website.
“A warning will be given to the offending athlete” read each statement, describing the decision as a “punishment” in both cases.
Their coaches will be fined 5 000 yuan ($770), and their teams 10 000 yuan. — AFP.
