I don't understand, why didn't Sun Yang just "miss" the test (trimetazidine)? Doesn't he get "two strikes" first like everyone else? I guess CHINADA is more reliable than UKAD. So the new "game" is to hire incompetent testers, to protect the athletes?
I think his test was in-competition (CHinese Nationals), though the point remains, why didn't they (CHiNADA) just flub/hide the test? Not like having WADA declare you to be "non-compliant" really means much these days.
Plus, the Chinese media didn't hide this, like the Western media would. The cultural difference is noteworthy.
