The China Anti-Doping Center issued a statement on the 8th, strongly calling on the International Testing Agency (ITA) to increase the frequency of doping tests on American track and field athletes during the Paris Olympics and restore the confidence of global athletes in fair competition.

The full text is as follows:

We have noticed that relevant domestic and foreign media have reported on the specific circumstances of the doping positive case of US Olympic track and field star Eliyan Knighton, and the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has also publicly responded to the case. However, we find that there are still many doubts about the case. For example, the head of USADA openly claimed that trenbolone is a well-known livestock growth promoter in the United States and other parts of the world. Why have hundreds of trenbolone positives occurred around the world in recent years, and only a very small number of American athletes have escaped suspension based on USADA's findings and claims of meat contamination? Why did USADA not give any risk warnings to American athletes about trenbolone contamination in meat products?

If trenbolone is a common contaminant in the United States, the China Anti-Doping Center reminds athletes from all countries, including the United States, to pay close attention to the meat contamination problem in the United States when training and competing in the United States, strengthen doping risk prevention during their stay in the United States, and be cautious when eating meat products. Otherwise, it may be like what American swimmer Phelps, who is protected by USADA, suggested in a recent interview: If the doping test result is positive, you will never be able to participate in the competition again, and everything is over.
