Members of the Australian swim team have expressed reservations about the integrity of the global anti-doping regime and called for a “clean” Olympics in Paris.
The swimming world was sent into turmoil in April when it was revealed that twenty-three Chinese swimmers tested positive for a banned drug, trimetazidine (TMZ), months before the Tokyo Olympics. But the swimmers avoided sanction when local authorities and the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) accepted the cases had arisen due to environmental contamination. Three Chinese gold medals at the last Olympics were won by swimmers implicated in the case.
