The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has confirmed 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for a banned drug ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
WADA eventually accepted claims from China’s anti-doping agency that the results were due to substance contamination.
Sports lawyer Tim Fuller highlights the double standards of how some athletes are treated.
“I think my biggest concern is the secrecy that shrouds this whole case,” Mr Fuller told Sky New Australia.
“When any athlete in the world tests positive to a banned substance they are automatically stood down and then the process kicks in, and that process could take a period of time.
