The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has reaffirmed its decision to clear 23 Chinese swimmers who tested positive for a banned heart medication before the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. This decision comes after a review of various media reports and a documentary by German broadcaster ARD.
WADA addressed questions at a news conference and acknowledged the skepticism surrounding the case. The swimmers' samples were found to be contaminated with a banned substance, which was traced back to spice containers in the kitchen of a hotel where some team members stayed for a national meet in January 2021.
