5 Vietnamese Athletes Punished for Doping at 2019 SEA Games

These athletes, all in track and field, are Quach Thi Lan, Khuat Phuong Anh, Vu Thi Ngoc Ha, Hoang Thi Ngoc, and Le Ngoc Phuc.

Lan faced the revocation of her 400-meter hurdles gold medal, 4×400 meter relay gold medal, and women’s 400-meter bronze medal, along with an 18-month ban from competitions, in place from May 17, 2022, until November 17, 2023.

Anh, who secured a gold medal in the women’s 800-meter race and a silver medal in the women’s 1,500-meter category, along with Ngoc, who won a gold medal in the women’s 4×400 meter relay, both faced an additional 18-month ban from competitions from May 16, 2022 to November 16, 2023 and from May 18, 2022 to November 18, 2023, respectively.

Ha, who clinched the gold medal in long jump, and Phuc, the silver medalist in the men’s 4×400 meter relay, were both handed a 16-month suspension from competitions from May 16, 2022 to September 16, 2023 and from May 15, 2022 to September 15, 2023, respectively.

Anh, Ngoc, Ha, and Phuc also had their medals achieved at the 31st SEA Games forfeited.

In their reports to sport authorities, the five Vietnamese athletes explained that they had used a type of supplement without knowing it contained banned substances.

Prior to the announcement of the positive doping cases, Vietnam had eliminated these five from a list of athletes eligible to compete at the 2022 National Sports Games and the 32nd SEA Games, which took place in Cambodia from May 5 to 17.

Who Is Anton Zeilinger – One Of The Three Nobel Winner Of Quantum Physics?

Image
Photo: Wikipedia Anton Zeilinger is a professor of physics at the University of Vienna and a Senior Scientist at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research group has demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum teleportation, which makes it possible to move a quantum state from one particle to one at a distance. For Anders Irbäck, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, “It has become increasingly clear that a new kind of quantum technology is emerging. We can see that the laureates’ work with entangled states is of great importance, even beyond the fundamental questions about the interpretation of quantum mechanics“. Together with Anton Zeilinger, John Clauser and Alain Aspect were also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science“.

Suong has spent 89 days writing the calligraphy and finding connections to produce the finished product. The words written on the giant hat include sightseeing spots in Can Tho, folk songs, proverbs, poems, and the names of various provinces and cities across the country. She shares that the purpose of her work is to honour the beauty of the fatherland through pieces of calligraphy. Indeed, the giant hat is created from 540 small conical hats which themselves represent the country’s 54 ethnic minority groups. The diametre of the giant hat spans for more than eight metres, with the length from the tip to the brim roughly four meters and the length from the tip of the cone to the ground roughly six metres. The work has 14 rows of conical ha...
