Inner Mongolia stay despite positive test

JINAN, Shandong province: Inner Mongolia are not pulling out the National Games despite the fact one of their athletes, shooter Li Jie, tested positive for a banned substance.

Instead, the team has vowed to carry out further investigations and impose strict punishment on her if the case is proved to be true.

"The Inner Mongolia delegation has always vowed to fight against doping and there is no culture of taking drugs in the delegation, so we were very surprised about Li's case," Bi Lifu, the media officer of the delegation, told China Daily. "Such individual cases don't affect the whole team, so we won't pull out the Games."
