Red line, bottom line, lifeline! Chinese sports delegation sticks to "zero occurrence" of doping

"The doping problem is a cancer in international sports, and we must maintain the bottom line of 'zero tolerance, zero appearance' of doping. This is not only an unbreakable concept of ice and snow sports for all Chinese sports, we say that it is not only a red line, a bottom line, but also a lifeline. Ni Huizhong, secretary general of the Chinese sports delegation and director of the Winter Games Center of the State General Administration of Sports, said when talking about the anti-doping work of the Chinese sports delegation.

The first step is to prevent intentional use. For cases of intentional use, once it appears, the most severe punishment will be carried out, without mercy, so that those who deliberately use doping will not be able to regret it. "Any athlete, coach, and staff member who has a problem smears the country and adds to the nation's blockage, we must not only smash his current rice bowl, but also smash his future rice bowl." Ni Huizhong said firmly. In the future, the Winter Games Center of the State General Administration of Sport will also work with various industry associations to introduce a blacklist of industry restrictions on access, and the phenomenon of deliberate doping will be completely eliminated in the industry.

Preventing the misuse of stimulants is a difficulty and focus of anti-doping work. The Chinese sports delegation took many measures at the same time to face the challenge from the source.

In order to prevent the problem of foodborne doping, the Chinese sports delegation blocked the source with a grid management system through various means, channels and links. Meat, eggs, milk, vegetables and other imports in athletes' food are tested twice by the producer and the delegation. Based on the current epidemic prevention situation, in order to ensure the safety of athletes and various training bases, a nucleic acid test is added.

For the problem of drug-induced stimulants, the Chinese sports delegation has established the most stringent access mechanism for drug use and screening. Not only athletes, but also coaches and staff, all medications taken during the national team's work must be strictly controlled. Even routine medication for underlying diseases is reported to the team committee of the sports team and reported to the anti-doping department of the Winter Games Center. Medicines are distributed to the anti-doping commissioner of the sports team under unified management and are regularly distributed to individuals. Strict control of drugs has blocked the source of the problem of misuse of stimulants.
