Tight watch on drug dealers to continue

Officials of the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) will maintain a close watch on the production and sale of performance-enhancing drugs during the Beijing Paralympic Games.

"Inspectors are inspecting pharmaceutical companies and retailers in Beijing and Qingdao, where the sailing events will take place," SFDA spokeswoman, Yan Jiangying, said on Wednesday.

The inspections are to ensure no violation of the country's anti-doping regulations take place, Yan said.
