Last update date: 2020-04-30 10:18The selection process of the Asian Games swimming team in 2018 was questioned to be unfair and suspected of being shielded. The Audit Office issued the Audit Report yesterday (29th). The Hong Kong Association and the Olympic Committee lacked transparency and accountability in the selection of athletes. Wang Minchao, the voluntary secretary of the Hong Kong Association and Olympic Committee, clarified in a radio program today (30th) that the related incident was a "misunderstanding" and explained it to various government departments regarding the incident. The authorities reviewed it and found that there was no problem.
In addition, the report also criticized the Office of the Drug Control Board ’s unsuccessful number of unsuccessful tests last year. Wang Minchao explained that there will be a “do n’t get people” situation, but the reason is that some athletes may not be able to contact them immediately after training in foreign countries; "The government's information is probably in an unclosed case, or the information has not been returned."

According to the audit report, two athletes did not meet the selection criteria, but they were also selected, including Wu Xinjian, son of Wu Xuguang, the swimming committee member who caused great controversy at the time. He was selected for the 2017 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games. Guo Jiahui, who had the fastest breaststroke, was lost. Wang Minchao emphasized on the Hong Kong radio program "Millennium" that it had been clarified that year, and the incident was a misunderstanding. There are many reasons for the selection, and it has nothing to do with Chairman Yong.
The Drug Control Committee is a committee of the Hong Kong Association and the Olympic Committee. The Office of the Drug Control Committee will conduct a drug test. The athletes will provide information on whereabouts. However, the audit report indicates that the number of unsuccessful tests has increased and some athletes have not explained the reason. Wang Minchao pointed out that the Hong Kong Association and the Olympic Committee have complete and detailed supervision on drug prohibition, emphasizing "have done enough".

Wang Zhi will have the situation of "don't get people", but will be explained by the athletes before meeting. And because "many athletes go to foreign countries for training, it takes time" to contact. Wang also suggested that the Drug Control Committee should refer to foreign practices, be independent of the Olympic Committee, and be carried out by the government.
