In June 2024, the [[New York Times]] published another article, reporting that Yang, along with swimmers [[Wang Shun]] and [[Qin Haiyang]], had tested positive to tiny amounts of Clenbuterol, that were 6 to 50 times lower than the minimum reporting requirement. However had questioned why the swimmers weren't already suspended and publicly identified. WADA Director General Oliver Niggli in a statement addressed to NYT, explained that these cases were due to accidental contamination, and not intentional ingestion. Niggli said, "They were elite level swimmers who were tested on a very frequent basis in a country where meat contamination with clenbuterol is widespread so it is hardly surprising that they could be among the hundreds of athletes who also tested positive for tiny amounts of the substance.” Niggli also added that these elite swimmers had been frequently tested, and the Clenbuterol levels detected were well below the minimum reporting requirements. Junxuan was 14 or 15 at the time of her positive test to small amounts of Clenbuterol in 2017, but went on to win gold and silver medals at the 2020 Tokyo Games.<ref name="New York Times Doping Article 2">{{cite news |last1=Schmidt|first1=Michael|last2=Panja|first2=Tariq|title=Chinese Swimmers Twice Tested Positive for Drugs.
