More Caught Three Chinese swimmers have been disqualified from a domestic competition for failing blood tests. The China Sports Daily quoted an official of the Chinese Swimming Association as saying the concentration of red cells in their blood was over the permitted limit. They had only been disqualified from the games and not banned, he said. It quoted their coaches as saying the blood test results were due to recent training at high altitude. FINA banned Chinese swimmers Wang Wei and Xiong Guoming for three years in August after they tested positive for the banned drug clenbuterol.
