An official with the Chinese Olympic delegation said on Thursday that the sports administration resolutely fights doping through intensified examination, education and management.
Jiang Zhixue, deputy secretary-general of the Chinese delegation, said at a press conference in the Main Press Center: "There are two tasks we need to achieve when attending the Olympic Games. One is to make good sports achievement, the other is to ensure clean Olympic Games."
To ensure fairness, justness and cleanness is an important indication of successful Olympic Games as well as the common goal of each country. However, a small number of athletes, driven by benefits, risk danger in desperation to take doping. "We resolutely oppose (such a behavior)," Jiang said.
On how to ensure that Chinese athletes are "clean", Jiang said the Chinese sports administration had intensified the work in three aspects to combat doping.
The first is to intensify doping tests, especially among the athletes who would attend the Beijing Olympic Games.
China's anti-doping authority conducted 5,007 drug tests among Chinese athletes from the beginning of this year, and eight athletes were tested positive, including China's top backstroker Ouyang Kunpeng and wrestler Luo Meng.
The second measure is to strengthen education. Not long ago, all the Chinese athletes who would attend the Olympics had made anti-doping oaths, and the athletes had understood their anti-doping duties and responsibilities, Jiang said.
The third is to demand all sports teams to strengthen management in athletes' training, daily life and medical treatment, so as to keep athletes from doping, he added.
