I wonder what Renato Canova has to say about this.

He stated that there is no doping in chinese endurance athletes nowadays.

What did he really say -- exactly? (link?)

he athletes represented sports including athletics, body building, boxing and kayaking, and were split evenly between men and women, the China Anti-Doping Agency said on its website.Only a few (1-2) might be considered "endurance" athletes: athletics and kayaking. Certainly not boxing and body building.

To the best of my knowledge all of the t&f athletes were notified months ago. I also think some of these were analytical positives that perhaps could not stand up in court. Some of the athletes were simply placed on notice and encouraged not to show up at the world championships.

Don't expect to see any t&f names from that 17 becasue from what I know, the situation has already been dealt with. I don't know any names but in following the rumor mills and connecting the dots, there was at least 2-4 t&f athletes and at least 2 of them were either Spanish and North African. I am sure some of them competed anyway and just off of what they were on. I have not heard anything that any of the t&f athletes were American.

Also, I think the 17 athletes must have been from WADA and not the IAAF becasue only covers t&f.

This fact fully confirms what I said.

There is no possibility a Chinese athlete can be doped both during international competitions or national competitions.

How I explaining, for all the athletes around the National Team there are controls every 2 weeks maximum, sometimes every week, and the sanctions are very tough : not only they are banned by the Chinese federation (before waiting any request from IAAF), but they go in jail, and their coaches are fired.

Of course I can't say there is no somebody trying to use PEDs, this happens everywhere. What I say is that at international level, or the top national level (for example, before National Games which are for Chineses as a domestic Olympic Game, since athletes represent their Province, and if they win can receive as prize one apartment and one car, more than winning Olympic Games !), there are not doped athletes, because they are caught by the Chinese antidoping agency before they can go to compete.

renato, what's your opinion on wang junxia?
