Zeng Liqing, a female rider from southeastern China's Fujian province, tested positive for the blood booster EPO in an out-of-competition control on March 25, 2005, and has now received a two-year ban according to the Chinese Olympic Committee.

In the light of the 2008 Olympic Games, China has enforced its anti-doping measures to restore a reputation damaged by the 1990s doping scandals. It has vowed to ensure upcoming National Games will not be tarnished by such incidents.
