Entinen maailmanlistan ykköspelaaja Zhou Mi on jäänyt kiinni kiellettyjen aineiden käytöstä
Viime vuodet Hongkongia edustanut kiinalaissyntyinen Zhou Mi on kärähtänyt Clenbuterolin käytöstä. Hän on saanut kahden vuoden kilpailukiellon eikä siis voi päästä Lontoon 2012 olympiakisoihin.
Kansainvälisen Sulkapalloliiton BWF:n uutisointi:
Zhou Mi banned for two years
Saturday, September 04, 2010
The BWF announced today that a BWF Doping Hearing conducted in Copenhagen on Monday 23 August has banned ZHOU Mi (HKG) for 2 years from participation in badminton, following an Adverse Analytical Finding.
The Hearing Panel decided “that a period of 2 years ineligibility is imposed upon ZHOU Mi for the first violation of the BWF Anti-doping Regulations. The period of ineligibility commences from the date of the provisional suspension, 4 August 2010”.
The Hearing was the result of an Adverse Analytical Finding of a sample taken from ZHOU Mi in late June as part of the BWF’s ‘out-of-competition’ testing programme. ZHOU Mi tested positive to Clenbuterol, a Class 1 Anabolic Agent on the WADA Prohibited List of substances.
“BWF is fortunate that this is the first case that the BWF has ruled on for a number of years. The case sends a strong message to elite athletes in the sport who need to be aware of Prohibited Substances and the consequences of taking these – either deliberately or inadvertently,” said Thomas Lund, BWF COO.
Zhou Mi (HK) in the proceedings acknowledged that she had taken some common over-the-counter medication but was unaware whether or not it had contained any prohibited substance.
“The BWF together with WADA conduct both ‘out-of competition’ and ‘in-competition’ testing on a regular basis and athletes need to be aware that they are ultimately responsible for everything they ingest – whether it is taken deliberately or inadvertently” Lund added. “And this case shows that for a first offence, the punishment is severe”.
The sanction means that ZHOU Mi cannot participate in any badminton at the international, national and local level for a period of 2 years.
