Eleven swimmers in doping scandal named in China Olympic team

China will send 11 swimmers implicated in a doping scandal to next month’s Paris Olympics, after the country named its squad for the Games.

Twenty-three Chinese swimmers tested positive for the heart drug trimetazidine (TMZ) — which can enhance performance — ahead of the 2021 Tokyo Games, it emerged in April. Eleven of those were named in the squad on Tuesday.
