原文地址:Katie Ledecky speaks out on China swimming doping scandal, hopes for ‘clean’ Olympics
新闻日期:2024-07-24

美国游泳运动员Katie Ledecky 揭露了中国游泳队的造假丑闻,并希望未来奥运会能保持“清洁”。

中国23名游泳选手在2021年东京奥运会上获得了参赛资格,尽管他们此前的尿检结果中检测到了三甲硝咪唑(一种用于治疗心脏疾病的禁用物质)。但世界反兴奋剂机构表示,这些选手的检测结果是由于“无意中的污染”,这一说法最初由中国的反兴奋剂机构提出。

随着巴黎奥运会开幕仅几天后,Ledecky 表示对此有所怀疑。她说:“我希望所有人本周都能参加的是干净的比赛。但更重要的是,他们是否一直在进行清洁的训练?” “希望这已经结束。我们希望全球对兴奋剂检测有更多了解。”

WADA表示,存在一些“不实报道”,这是它们对事件作出回应的原因。该机构称,在2020年美国反兴奋剂机构(USADA)曾向它提供有关中国游泳界舞弊的线索,但未能跟进证据。

原文摘要:

Twenty-three Chinese swimmers were given the OK to compete in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 despite testing positive for trimetazidine, a banned substance used as a heart medication. However, the World Anti-Doping Agency said the swimmers’ tests had come up positive due to “inadvertently being exposed to the substance through contamination,” a claim initially brought by the Chinese Doping Agency. With the Paris Games’ opening ceremony later this week, it’s the first Olympics since the scandal, and decorated United States swimmer Katie Ledecky is skeptical.

But what really matters also is, were they training clean?” Ledecky said Wednesday. “Hopefully, that’s been the case. Hopefully, there’s been even testing around the world.” There is an ongoing U.S. investigation of the suspected doping by the Chinese swimmers, drawing the ire of the International Olympic Committee. While awarding the 2034 Winter Olympics to Salt Lake City Wednesday, the IOC pushed Utah officials to do what they can to stop the FBI probe. “I think everyone’s heard what the athletes think. They want transparency. They want further answers to the questions that still remain. At this point, we’re here to race. We’re going to race whoever’s in the lanes next to us. We’re not the ones paid to do the testing, so we hope that the people that are follow their own rules. That applies now and into the future.” The WADA said there had been “misleading information” spreading in the news, which led to its response. It said it had been given a tip by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency as early as 2020 — before this case arose — about allegations of doping cover-ups in China but that USADA never followed up with evidence. GOD ‘STEPPED IN AND SAVED’ DONALD TRUMP FROM ASSASSINATION, JAKE PAUL SAYS However, the WADA says it “reviewed this case thoroughly” and “concluded that there was no concrete basis to challenge the asserted contamination.” The agency says it “followed all due process and diligently investigated every lead and line of inquiry in this matter.” The 30-member Chinese swim team won six medals in Tokyo, including three golds. Many of the athletes still compete for China and are expected to swim at the Paris Olympics.
