The Western world really knows how to "work together". After the Australian media broke the news that the so-called 23 athletes of the Chinese swimming team were found to be positive for trimetazidine, American swimmer Forde threatened that the Chinese team violated doping regulations at the Tokyo Olympics and that the Olympic medals would be reassigned.
According to the American magazine "Swimming World", three years ago at the Tokyo Olympics, Chinese swimmers won six medals, including Zhang Yufei's gold medal in the women's 200-meter butterfly and women's 4x200-meter freestyle relay. But now, those results could be revised due to newly discovered doping violations by Chinese swimmers.
Sports Illustrated writer Pat Forde's daughter, Brooke Forde, who was a preliminaries swimmer for that U.S. relay team, reported on X, "I can confirm that some U.S. swimmers competing in the Tokyo Olympics have been notified that the Chinese team has tested positive for doping, which could change the outcome of multiple competitions and change the distribution of medals." ”
Neither the U.S. Swimming Association nor the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has publicly commented on the possibility of the Chinese swimming team's disqualified results and medal redistribution. The Chinese women's 4x200m freestyle relay team that won the gold medal included Yang Junxuan, Tang Muhan, Zhang Yufei and Li Bingjie.
Judging from Fude's excited tone, she was referring to the women's 4x200m freestyle relay, in which the Chinese team is the Olympic champion and the United States is the runner-up. As of press time, FINA has not released relevant news, and it cannot be ruled out that the US media distorted the facts and maliciously slandered them.
