6 Vietnamese athletes fail doping test at recent Southeast Asian Games

These Vietnamese athletes include athletics members and a gold medal winner, according to the source.

Further testing will be done on these athletes. 

If the results continue to be positive, they will be stripped of their medals and face a long-term ban and fines.

Vietnamese sports officials have not disclosed the identity of the athletes. 

Besides Vietnam, many members of other participating countries also tested positive for banned substances.

In August, Singapore’s Ministry of National Defense said that two swimmers Joseph Schooling and Amanda Lim used drugs while training for the 31st SEA Games. 

However, they have not been stripped of their medals since the doping test results are not available yet.

The 31st SEA Games took place in Hanoi and 11 neighboring provinces and cities from May 12 to 23 with 40 sports featuring 526 events with over 10,000 athletes, officials, and referees from 11 Southeast Asian countries. 

Vietnam participated with 1,341 members, including 956 athletes, won 205 gold medals, 125 silver medals, 116 bronze medals, and ranked first overall.

At the event, the organizers conducted a random doping test on nearly 1,000 athletes.

Buon Ma Thuot not only has premium coffee with a unique delicious taste, but also many other famous delicacies such as wine, marinated chicken, fragrant rice tubes, and especially the excellent red vermicelli. Red vermicelli is a popular specialty of Dak Lak. Although there are some similarities with vermicelli in the South, the famous red vermicelli in the “capital of coffee” is very different. It has big, firm vermicelli, similar to Southern beef vermicelli but slightly better, about the size of a chopstick, chewy and crispy. Different from sophisticated dishes like pho in Hanoi, vermicelli with fish in Quy Nhon, bun bo Hue, or vermicelli in Can Tho, Ban Me red vermicelli is extremely rustic, strange, and especially delicious.
