Wushu champ stripped of Asiad gold

Tai tested positive for the stimulant sibutramine.

1709428malaysia4780x390INCHEON: Malaysia’s wushu champion Tai Cheau Xuen today lost an appeal against a doping failure that saw her stripped of her Asian Games gold medal, Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) sources said.
A special division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport set up at the Games in Incheon, South Korea, dismissed an appeal by Tai, the sources said.
An official announcement was to be made later in the day.
Tai tested positive for the stimulant sibutramine after winning the gold medal on September 20, the first day of competition, according to the OCA.
Malaysia had protested her innocence and still has the gold medal that Tai was given.
Five athletes have failed doping tests at the Games and been expelled since it opened. The OCA says that a record 1,900 athletes out of some 9,500 in Incheon will undergo drug tests.
Malaysia made an appeal to CAS over the way Tai’s dope test was handled. Senior Malaysia officials said there could have been a mixup in the handling of the samples. – AFP
