Australia's head swimming coach Rohan Taylor has urged his Olympic team not to get distracted by a Chinese doping scandal that has rocked the sport, calling it "a waste of energy."
Reports in April revealed 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for the prescription heart drug trimetazidine — which can enhance performance — ahead of the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
They were not suspended or sanctioned after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accepted the explanation of Chinese authorities that the results were caused by food contamination at a hotel where they had stayed.
