Kick China out.

The three Chinese athletes revealed to have tested positive earlier, in 2016 and 2017, were no ordinary swimmers: Two would go on to win gold medals at the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021, and the third is now a world-record holder. All three are expected to contend for medals again at the Paris Games in July.’

 

 

In its report, China even identified the three athletes by name: Wang Shun, who at the Tokyo Olympics became the second Chinese man to win an individual gold medal in swimming; Qin Haiyang, the current world-record holder in the 200-meter men’s breaststroke; and Yang Junxuan, who was 14 or 15 at the time of her positive test in 2017 but went on to win gold and silver medals at the Tokyo Games.

Erriyon Knighton tested positive to trenbolone but has been given no sanction because it was supposedly caused by contaminated meat.

This is not long after NY Times did a hit piece against Chinese athletes that weren't sanctioned in 2016-2017 for clenbuterol also supposedly because of contaminated meat.

Perfect timing! So, apparently USADA believes cross contamination is possible...

It's not cross contamination. The drugs are given to livestock to promote growth and remain in the meat.
