In June 2024, the [[New York Times]] published another article, reporting that Yang had tested positive for low levels of [[Clenbuterol]]. WADA described the athletes' levels of clenbuterol as “so low that they were between 6 and 50 times lower than the minimum reporting level". In a statement to the New York Times, WADA Director General, Oliver Niggli, 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”.<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.
