News summary

Adam Peaty has vocally criticized the legitimacy of China's swimming golds at the Paris 2024 Olympics, particularly targeting Qin Haiyang and Sun Jiajun, who previously tested positive for banned substances. Peaty, along with other prominent swimmers like Katie Ledecky and Caeleb Dressel, has called for stricter anti-doping measures and expressed mistrust in the current system. The controversy stems from allegations that 23 Chinese swimmers, including Qin and Sun, tested positive for the heart medication trimetazidine before the Tokyo Olympics but were cleared to compete. Chinese authorities attributed the positive tests to food contamination, a claim accepted by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) but widely disputed by athletes. Despite these allegations, the Chinese relay team won gold, prompting Peaty to urge Olympic officials to 'wake up and do your job.' The issue has also heightened geopolitical tensions, with accusations of leniency towards China drawing parallels to past doping scandals involving Russia.
