Taipei, March 28 (CNA) The Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee (CTOC) on Thursday
Kao Chin-hsung (高俊雄)
made public a list of Taiwanese athletes currently suspended from competition due to failed doping tests.
The list includes 11 athletes from different disciplines ranging from powerlifting to weightlifting and bodybuilding, according to the CTOC.
One of the most notable names is that of two-time Olympic gold medalist women’s weightlifter Hsu Shu-ching (許淑淨), who has been banned for three years since January 2018 after testing positive for a prohibited substance in late 2017.
Her ban was only revealed after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) earlier this month asked the CTOC to make public the list of Taiwanese athletes currently banned from competition due to failed drug tests. [FULL STORY]
