PARIS, Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- The frequency of doping tests in swimming should be determined by organizations such as the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and World Aquatics, to ensure the fairness of Olympic competitions, said International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach during a press conference on Saturday.

The IOC president made the remarks when inquired on whether there will be potential increase in doping tests for the Chinese swimming team, who had already been tested in large numbers, following Pan Zhanle's world record-breaking performance in men's 100m freestyle on July 31.
