I don't think any athlete, Chinese or non-Chinese, would want to destroy the work they built up every day over the years on doping, Zhang said at the Olympic pool after a fast swim in a morning race on the opening day of the swimming competition.
The Chinese government, she said, also does not allow us to dope on purpose. Zhang offered her responses in an interview in Mandarin that was translated into English.
On Saturday, Zhang reiterated what the Chinese authorities and the World Anti-Doping Agency have claimed for months: that the positive tests for the banned substance, trimetazidine, a prescription heart medication, were the result of food contamination traced to a hotel kitchen.
