Did Chinese Swimmers Get a Break from Doping Enforcement?

It was recently revealed that nearly half of China’s swimming team tested positive for a banned substance just months before the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, but the athletes were still allowed to compete. Apparently, China's Anti-Doping Agency concluded that the swimmers ingested the performance-enhancing prescription heart drug known as TMZ, unwittingly and did not enforce sanctions.

Shockingly, the international agency known as the World Anti-doping Agency declined to challenge the decision, allowing the alleged offenders to compete and collect up to half a dozen medals for China. How can this be tolerated? Tune in to this edition of the Sports Business Podcast with Prof. C. to learn more.
