Doping 101 by Dr. Jega


World No. 1 Lee Chong Wei has been implicated in a doping scandal and is supposedly due to know his fate when the B sample is tested for the banned substance dexamethasone in Oslo, Norway, on Wednesday. Before this case, wushu exponent Tai Chuan Xuen was stripped of her gold medal at the Asian Games for a banned substance found in a weight loss product that she had consumed. So, what’s happening? Starsport’s RAJES PAUL speaks to former top sprinter and doctor Tan Sri M. Jegathesan to clarify the issue.
