Career
In April 2024, the New York Times reported that Junxuan along with 22 other top Chinese swimmers had tested positive for trimetazidine, a banned substance by the World Anti-Doping Agency, in the lead up to the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games. The urine tests were conducted on 39 athletes at a meet hosted by the Chinese national swimming association between December 2020 and January 2021.[6] During a press release, the World Anti-Doping Agency said that the levels of TMZ found in Chinese swimmers were not capable of producing any enhancement in performance at the concentrations found and were due to an environmental contamination.[7]
In June 2024, the New York Times published another article, reporting that Yang Junxuan, 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 Tokyo Games.[8]
