[Newyddion Tilu]The Chinese Swimming Association officially released the “Paris 2024 Olympics Swimming Event Selection Procedures”, which clearly states that athletes who have been suspended for more than one year due to drug offenses are not eligible to be selected for the Paris Olympics , which means that athletes who are still in suspension Sun Yang will compete in the Paris Olympics, but domestic media predict that the former Olympic champion will not announce his retirement for now, and is expected to even playing in the 2025 National Games and the 2026 Nagoya Asian Games.
The “Paris 2024 Olympics Swimming Project Selection Methods” recently published by the Chinese Swimming Association states: “Athletes and related support personnel who have experienced drug offenses will be suspended for drug offenses in accordance with anti-doping control regulations.” The State General Administration of Sports Athletes and support staff who have been banned from competition for more than one year (not including one year) are not allowed to be selected for the national team in any capacity and are not eligible for selection. “
32-year-old Sun Yang was suspended for four years and three months for violating anti-doping regulations until the end of May 2024. In theory, he no longer complies with relevant regulations and lost the eligibility to be selected for the team national and compete in the Paris Olympics. In addition, the announcement mentioned that it is planned to hold the National Championship, which is the domestic trial for the Paris Olympics, in Shenzhen from April 19 to 27. The time is just before Sun Yang lifts the ban, which is equivalent to cut off the time for a former Olympic gold medalist to pass domestic Trials en route to Olympic qualification.
Although the chance of returning to the Olympic stage is small, the domestic media estimates that Sun Yang will not announce his retirement for now, saying: “It is not impossible to participate in another National Games (Area Greater Bay 2025) than even the Asian Games (2026 Nagoya) Registration The possibility of participating in the national championship game and the national championship is even greater.”
