Olympics|The former swimming star does not accept, for example, the explanations given about Chinese swimmers.
Former swimming star Michael Phelps calls for tougher punishments for those who commit fraud in sports. He would like an eternal ban for doping.
“If the test result is positive, it should never be possible to return,” Phelps says to the news agency AP’s by.
Phelps’ claim is based on the positive test results of 23 Chinese swimmers during the Tokyo Olympics. The results came out only this year. The World Anti-Doping Agency and the World Swimming Federation accepted the Chinese explanations, according to which the positive results were due to tainted food.
Nine of the swimmers who participated won medals at the Paris Olympics.
According to Phelps, those who gave a positive test result should have been shelved from the Tokyo and Paris Games – and from all other games as well. According to Phelps, it is a big problem if the testing is not the same for everyone.
“We have a serious problem because then the sport is not fair and equitable. If you take a risk, you don’t belong here [olympialaisiin].”
