BEIJING, Dec. 11 -- Executive force is indispensable in China's anti-doping fight and it only works better where it fits, said Chinese anti-doping head on Thursday.
China unveiled new anti-doping administrative regulations in sports on Wednesday, along with the Anti-Doping General Principles, both effective on Jan. 1 next year.
The regulations serve as a general guideline and focus on executive management in anti-doping work. The General Principles are basically a Chinese version of the World Anti-Doping Code.
While the World Anti-Doping Code requires athletes and coaches to be punished if involved in doping offence, the Chinese regulations continue to set down punishments for civil servants in sports field.
"The government's executive force is indispensable in coordination between different departments, resource mobilization and civil servants management," Jiang told Xinhua on Thursday. "The government plays a crucial role in China's anti-doping fight. Without it, you are powerless and can't do anything."
China's sport system was funded by the state and the anti-doping responsibility falls on government sport bureaus both on state level and provincial level.
"The world anti-doping code is powerless on Chinese sports bureau heads, researchers and so on, but our new regulations will have controls over them," he added.
Although executive power is vital, Jiang said it should not intervene in technical area.
"Executive power should not meddle with things like who to be tested, how to punish an athlete and how to manage the results. In the technical area, executive power the less, the better," Jiang said.
"The new regulations are expected to fill in the gap between World Anti-doping requirements and the reality of China, not overstepping the Code," he added.
