Yes, those clean would compete but those who have a doping history earlier or avoid even one test by not being on place should be punished for long time.

Lets not forget Yi Shiwen's performance in 2012 was clearly drug induced as well. Is it no surprise China increased funding to WADA? https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1101523/wada-addiotional-gov-funding so Wada doesn't bite the hand that feeds it?

I agree. But I think a punishment for one and only one missed test by not being there, should not be that severe. A mistake can always happen. But if you mistake twice or three times in a row... Like a yellow card and red card.

 

And I think there should be a lifetime olympic ban punishment for the most severe doping violations for individual sportsmen. Maybe they could participate in world championships after some years but never go to the olympics. I couldn't stand watching e.g. Adrian Zieliński in Tokyo or in Paris.

Ye shiwen's performance has surpassed by Hosszu for many times. What's the point of obsessed with the conspiracy? If we judge athletes by tabloids then why we should sponsor WADA any longer?
