Chinese swimmers banned due to Clenbuterol use

Chinese swimmers banned due to Clenbuterol use Five Chinese swimmers received two-year suspensions after testing positive for the steroids, Clenbuterol.

Qu Jing, Liu Bingyao, Zuo Ziqiao, Fu Bo and Hu Shaozhi, all tested positive for anabolic steroids in the national competition last June.

Although they do not appear in the list of NBC Olympic Rosters, they are potential candidates for the London Games in 2012.

Aside from the athletes, their coaches will also be receiving a ban of one to two years.

The Chinese Swimming Association has been taking steps to tighten their security measures against steroids use. Many Chinese athletes have records of steroids use and abuse for the past years. This move, done by the association, can hopefully send a positive message to other athletes that steroids and other performance enhancing drugs can do nothing to improve your career.

Clenbuterol, is an anabolic steroid use in treating asthma attacks and other respiratory conditions in animals, especially in equines. It has become popular in the world of sports due to its slimming effects. It has been alleged that this drug is introduced into training regimens to help athletes lose weight.

Unfortunately, in the US, elite athletes go undetected with using steroids and other performance enhancing products.
