preface
Now there are 8 days left before the Paris Olympics will begin, and the athletes of our country have come to the competition site early to prepare for the competition.
Just today, Yu Liang, nutritionist of our Chinese national swimming team, posted on social media that during the 10 days of our Chinese team's trip to France, all 31 athletes were checked nearly 200 times by the International Doping Testing Organization (ITA).
The athletes are very tired, in addition to jet lag, training also has to deal with ITA, noon lunch break is also tested, and the night can stay up until the second half of the night, the athletes can only rest on the sofa in the hotel lobby.
This approach is clearly telling us that our Chinese team has been targeted.

The most frequent inspections
Our Chinese Olympic champion in swimming, Zhang Yufei, once said in an interview, "Chinese athletes have been tested for doping more than the most in the world!" ”
Zhang Yufei's words are not nonsense, we can look at the doping test data of athletes in 2023.
Zhang Yufei was inspected a total of 43 times, Li Bingjie was inspected a total of 42 times, and Qin Haiyang, who has the title of "Frog King", was actually inspected 46 times!
The least inspected athlete in our Chinese team was Tang Qianting, but there were 21 times.
The number of inspections for foreign athletes is very small, many of them are in single digits, and the combined value of the two may not be as high as that of our Chinese team, or even 20 times.
Any Chinese will have objections when they look at such data, and they are unabashedly targeting us.
According to a report by the Global Times, some countries led by the United States announced today that many players in our Chinese team tested positive for trimetazidine in drug tests before the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is shielding China and has not investigated this matter in depth.
The World Anti-Doping Agency responded that the test results reported by our Chinese team in accordance with the regulations were later concluded to be positive because of the contamination of the samples.
And as early as before, the United States Anti-Doping Agency had applied to the World Anti-Doping Agency to re-investigate the contamination of our Chinese samples.
To this end, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has set up a special investigation team, and after a long and detailed investigation, it was found that everything done by the Chinese side was in accordance with the procedures, and there was no evidence to prove that they had committed illegal acts.
We in China have always adhered to the principle of "winning a clean gold medal", and have always had zero tolerance for doping, and actively cooperated with every inspection.
We in China can't stand the slander against us, and we play in an upright game, and we never engage in those messy things.
On the other hand, the United States is different from other countries in terms of doping control.

United States is the exception?
The United States has been "watching" other countries on the issue of athlete doping, but it has turned a blind eye to its own behavior.
In 2022, the World Anti-Doping Agency said that although United States also signed the World Anti-Doping Code, most professional sports leagues such as the United States Professional Basketball League, United States Major League Baseball, United States Major League Rugby, National Ice Hockey League, etc United States., have not signed the World Anti-Doping Code.

And the United States Collegiate Sports League also has its own unique anti-doping rules and system, and they only follow their own rules.
And we all know that most of the United States athletes who participate in the Olympics are from this league, but their daily competitions are simply not under the supervision of the World Anti-Doping Agency.
In 2018, United States swimmer Madisin · Cox was banned for two years after testing positive for trimetazidine during training.
However, the United States said that there was no way to determine the source of trimetazidine, believing that the vitamin supplement was contaminated to be positive, so the athlete's ban period was shortened.
What happened in your own home country is that the test is contaminated, and in other countries, is it the use of illegal drugs?
You can't do things like this.
United States itself has a serious lack of WADA regulatory investigations, and is worried about the situation of other countries, since it does not like to use WADA regulations, it is better not to meddle in other countries.
So why does the United States have to slander us for using illegal drugs? It may have something to do with our growing strength.

Stronger and stronger
Just last year, our national swimmer Qin Haiyang broke the record at the World Championships, winning the 50, 100 and 200m breaststroke in one competition.
No athlete before Qin Haiyang has such strength, Qin Haiyang is the first person, and in foreign reports, Qin Haiyang is called "Frog King".
And now Qin Haiyang is only 25 years old, still in the golden age of athletes, Qin Haiyang is unlimited.

And Zhang Yufei, the leader of our Chinese women's swimming team, is even more amazing, at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, Zhang Yufei won the fifth gold medal in this Asian Games even though he had a high fever.
Zhang Yufei won a total of six gold medals in this competition, becoming the athlete with the most gold medals in the Hangzhou Asian Games.
In addition, Zhang Yufei also ranked third in the World Cup annual standings with 6 golds and 3 silvers in the previous World Cup sub-tournaments.

Because of Zhang Yufei's good grades, she was tested for doping a total of 43 times.
However, Zhang Yufei is not afraid of testing, she thinks that she is playing upright, so she is not afraid of those crooked ways.
In addition to them, there are many very good athletes in our Chinese team, and they are our pride.
epilogue
We in China have always followed the principle of honest competition, and we will never allow anyone to pour dirty water on us.
Please also take care of yourself and don't always worry about the affairs of other countries.
We wish our athletes the best of luck at this Olympic Games.
