China bans sprinter for life after testing positive for drugs

Wang Jian, a sprinter from Fujian province who was on the national team for the Olympics, was banned for life after testing positive for performance enhancing drugs. The ban comes shortly after Wang winning gold in the women's 100 meters at last week's National Games. Sadly, Wang is the third athlete banned in the course of the National Games. Though the sprinter denies ever having used drugs willingly, it's no surprise that drug use would rear its ugly head with competition to make the national team fiercer than ever. Photo from inSing
