Paris 2024 | Chinese swimmers are fully tested and most tested: IOC spokesman

(ECNS) -- They (Chinese Olympic swimmers) are fully tested and they are the most tested swimming team here,” said the International Olympic Committee (IOC) spokesman Mark Adams at a press conference in Paris on Friday.

Adams made the remarks in response to questioning of Chinese swimmer Pan Zhanle's record-breaking triumph in the 100m freestyle final at Paris 2024 Olympics.

There have been “600 and something tests routinely since January. So they are fully tested,” the spokesperson added.

The biased and unfair questioning has sparked outrage on Chinese social media platform Weibo.

A Weibo user named "Didi Beautiful Departure" (Didi Meihao Chufa) said Pan is a world champion with integrity and honor. 

A Weibo user named Momo Dayemao commented that Chinese athletes have always been targeted, smeared, and some people have been spreading misinformation.
