Swimming unintentionally banned due to contamination with prohibited substances Smile at Koga return race August 29, 18:35
Junya Koga, a swimmer who had been suspended for two years as a result of unintentionally mixing in the supplements he ingested, participated in the race for the first time in two years and four months and said, ``When I return, I will try swimming like this I was inflated by my imagination, and I'm really happy when it's finally time to try it out."
Koga, a 33-year-old player who was a representative of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics in Japan, was struck by a positive reaction to a banned drug in a test by the WADA = Anti-Doping Agency, and was notified by the International Federation of Swimming to suspend his qualification for four years.
After that, it was found that the prohibited substances were accidentally mixed in the supplement, and the disposal was shortened within two years until May.
After disposal, Koga competed in a race held at the Tokyo Tatsumi International Swimming Center on the 29th for the first time in two years and four months, and participated in a 50-meter backstroke that once won the Japanese championship for nine consecutive years.
Koga, who came out at the start, finished at the top and the time was 25 seconds 04, which is 0 seconds 8 behind his own Japanese record that was marked in 2009.
During the interview after the race, Koga said at the time when he showed a positive result in the doping test, "It was a big shock that I had to live by being determined to be a dishonest person. There was always death next to me, Sometimes I thought it would be easier if I jumped over the balcony, and sometimes I just took a walk outside and tears came out."
After that, he said, "When I got back, I was inflated by the imagination of trying to swim like this. I'm really happy when I can finally try it. I was able to know that I still had a strong desire to lose. A big harvest. I would like to aim for the Tokyo Olympics."
