Chinese expert calls for stricter law for anti-doping
26.03.2010 World
Those who drug ignorant athletes should be put into jail, experts said as they called for amendments to the criminal law to give Chinese anti-doping cause a big boost.
Jiang Zhixue, the anti-doping head in Chinese State General Administration of Sport, said present regulations were not severe enough for those who set up or coax others into using banned substances.
"We are confined to punish them technically, giving them bans or fines but nothing more," said Jiang.
China issued several anti-doping regulations including Strict Prohibition of Using Banned Substances in Sports in 1998 and Anti-Doping Regulations by the State Council in 2004.
The Anti-Doping Regulations rules where physical injuries are caused to the athletes, civil liabilities for compensation shall be assumed in accordance with the laws; where the case is serious enough to constitute a crime, criminal liabilities shall be pursued in accordance with the laws.
