The official website of the China Anti-Doping Center announced the decision to deal with the doping of athletes, including Yang Fangxu, a member of the Women's Volleyball Championship of the Rio Olympic Games, who was listed, and the official type of violation was exogenous erythropoietin, and Yang Fangxu was banned for 4 years. Some fans will ask, Yang Fangxu was found to be banned substances, so will the Chinese women's volleyball team be deprived of the gold medal at the Rio Olympic Games in 2016?
In fact, you don't have to worry, Yang Fangxu's ban date is August 11, 2018, and the Rio Olympic Games are 2016, so it will not affect the gold medal of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the Rio Olympic Games. The reporter consulted sports expert Zhao Jiaxing, who said: "It is true that there is no impact, but there is another problem, if Yang Fangxu also took medication at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, and she was tested for blood during the Olympic Games, it will be a bad situation." Now the drug test sample should be retained for 10 years, and there is a possibility of re-examination in the future. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, women's weightlifting Chen Xiexia, Cao Lei and Liu Chunhong were all re-tested for doping and cancelled their gold medals a few years later. ”
Zhao Jiaxing added: "Of course, what I am saying is hypothetical, just in case, we can't conclude that she also took drugs during the 2016 Olympic Games just because she was found to be a banned drug in 2018." In fact, we should give praise to the Chinese anti-doping agency, to the Chinese Volleyball Association, dare to self-correct and self-examination, and the members of the Olympic champions have also been severely punished, which shows our determination to fight doping. ”
Realistically speaking, Yang Fangxu was a bench player at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and did not play much role, and the main receiver was Zhang Changning, not her. But whether it is the main force or not, as long as Yang Fangxu is confirmed to take medication during the Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team will face the danger of being deprived of the Olympic gold medal. There are still many examples of this, and the age of Chinese gymnast Dong Fangxiao at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games was fake, and the medal of the Chinese gymnastics women's team was stripped away.
It is worth mentioning that in the first half of this year, Yang Fangxu's Weibo was still there, and he also issued a retirement decision, which was cancelled two months ago. We understand every athlete who fights for the cause of the women's volleyball team, but this kind of thing is unforgivable, there is no way to wash the floor, and there is no possibility of mistaken obedience. This exogenous erythropoietin is not taken orally, nor is it present in other oral drugs, and can only be injected, theoretically there is no misuse.
