00:00Taiwanese champion swimmer Wang Guanhong is heading to the Olympics despite missing a
00:05doping test after a competition a few months ago.
00:09Wang took part in an event in Spain in May, but the International Testing Agency didn't
00:13get a sample to test for banned substances afterwards.
00:17Wang's lawyer says the swimmer did complete the test and that the sample may not have
00:21arrived because of miscommunication between the agency and hotel staff.
00:26Taiwan's sports administration has arranged to allow Wang to compete in Paris despite
00:30a missed test.
