U.S. lawmakers are demanding answers from Olympic and anti-doping leaders regarding a doping scandal involving nearly two dozen Chinese swimmers. Before the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for a banned heart medication but were allowed to compete after being cleared. A House committee has asked the DOJ to open an investigation into these reports, while the committee on CCP has called for the FBI to investigate Chinese state-sponsored doping ahead of the Paris Summer Olympics. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and swimming’s global governing body have been accused of a cover-up in their mishandled review of the decision to clear the swimmers. This scandal threatens to upend the upcoming Paris Olympics and raises concerns about the integrity of the Games, highlighting double standards in the treatment of Chinese athletes.
The Olympic Games should be a time for the world to come together. WADA’s failure to hold the PRC accountable threatens the integrity of the Games and allows China to continue to use its favorite strategy—competing unfairly. https://t.co/4HdCGz6MeH

This is a clear example of the double standards we often see with regards to China, why is it okay for their athletes to get caught doping but then still compete? https://t.co/1TKkwMVCOC
Before 2021 Tokyo Olympics, 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for doping. Somehow they were allowed to compete. Yesterday, we demanded that the @FBI open an investigation into Chinese state-sponsored doping ahead of the Paris Summer Olympics. https://t.co/9O0al9nayD
