Chinese swimmer 1st to fail dope test during Rio Games
Chinese swimmer Chen Xinyi became the first athlete to fail a dope test during the 2016 Rio Olympics, after testing positive for a banned diuretic. The swimmer had earlier finished fourth in the women’s 100-metre butterfly on Friday, and was scheduled to participate in the women’s 50-metre freestyle event. The swimmer has appealed to the IOC to test her B-sample.
