ASIAN GAMES 2010 – China conducted pre-doping control over own athletes

According to Xinhua News Agency, China made sure these games would be “clean Games” in terms of doping, at least for their own athletes. The powerhouse hosting the biggest ever Asian Games has conducted pre-doping test for all athletes, who have been tested at least once in the pre-competition phase.

“We hope that China will keep a clean record. We have been working hard to send a clean team to the Asian Games and ensure there is no positive case in our delegation,” Jiang Zhixue, anti-doping chief in China’s State General Administration of Sport, told the official Xinhua news agency.

“No athlete is allowed into the team before they finish the required anti-doping education, no matter how great their sport achievements are.”
