The world’s top anti-doping regulator says after reviewing a documentary and other media reports that it stands by its decision to clear 23 Chinese swimmers to compete at the 2021
The World Anti-Doping Agency acknowledges it knew of doping concerns involving 23 Chinese swimmers before the 2021 Tokyo Games but failed to alert others. Some of those swimmers later won gold medals.
"The Chinese swimmers involved were neither at fault nor guilty of negligence, and their behavior did not constitute a doping violation," an official said.
