Allegations of doping & IAAF investigation
News Reports surfaced February 2016 of a Chinese journalist who claimed 10 of the country's Olympic champions and world record holders have said they were part of a state-sponsored doping program, in a letter apparently from Wang Junxia, with nine other signatories, that alleged that the athletes had been forced to take drugs.[1] Report initially surfaced via Tencent Sports and Sohu Sports[2] and reported by China Central Television (CCTV) and throughout Chinese state media.[3]
International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) subsequently opened investigation into the allegations.[1][3]
