Swimming's world governing body, World Aquatics, told The Associated Press on Thursday that its top administrator, Brent Nowicki, was subpoenaed to testify in the investigation. "World Aquatics can confirm that its executive director, Brent Nowicki, was served with a witness subpoena by the United States government," World Aquatics said in a statement to the AP. "He is working to schedule a meeting with the government, which, in all likelihood will obviate the need for testimony before a Grand Jury." World Aquatics declined to answer questions about where and when Nowicki was served his subpoena and didn't say which office was handling the investigation. The FBI did not immediately return requests for comment. The news comes just three weeks before the Paris Olympics, where 11 of the Chinese swimmers who tested positive for a banned heart medication three years ago are set to compete. The swimmers in question were allowed to compete at the Tokyo Olympics despite their positive tests just months before those Games. Chinese officials blamed food contamination; the World Anti-Doping Agency accepted that explanation and has since defended its handling of the case. China won six medals in swimming, including three golds, at the Tokyo Olympics to finish fourth on the medal table behind the United States, Australia and Britain. The positive tests were not publicly known until The New York Times and German broadcaster ARD first reported on the case in April. A House Committee on China asked the Justice Department and FBI on May 21 to investigate the case under a federal law that allows investigations into suspected doping conspiracies even if they occurred outside the U.S. Information from Reuters was used in this report. 9bb0e5 1585be65b2d143138eab4ac98a09ec0e~mv2 C60012e435f675ab498ba006979b68a6 Article Hero Images 2023 12 19T153654.862 Top 10 Must Buy Items For New Year 2024 Vaaree ?v=1706523014 9 For 3 Items From 05 Dec 2023 To 05 Jan 2024 33 Items To V0 Tar5fj7ixkac1 ?auto=webp&s=3fff1a010e7c6b87c01b5ca6394a03436b319d97 Hqdefault On Sale February 2024 New Items 1708106615 B Records Min 1536x1074 1000 F 63431104 KlWnITLcNnQLXKgCJ34vzwPKjqBPRkic IMG 4735 996x1600 2 Maxresdefault Maxresdefault Best Collectables To Invest In 300x200 E7051751949e9049805bbef05e Maxresdefault Maxresdefault Pp 9products4 3d1d7ace Bebf 46ab Ab03 C5f43d697a59 2048x ?v=1701988251 N8KHAP5s 1 740x560 1 Photo 08 08 2023 20 22 10 Maxresdefault Promocollage 1676064060969?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=AtTqe8rO7eEMSyAQSkiD Z200ryvHJxDOxm EQhLcEs Oliver Blog 3 Packaging Trends For 2023 ?width=800&name=Oliver Blog 3 Packaging Trends For 2023 Hqdefault ?sqp= OaymwEoCOADEOgC8quKqQMcGADwAQH4AbYIgAKAD4oCDAgAEAEYZSBYKEAwDw==&rs=AOn4CLD59q9NQ96ThucryXeTI2dByESTNA 3909017014 Amazon Best Selling Items 2023 8f8e6429556fcb7dafbdbc48d18657b4 1f7753 9e9a0e47f1354fbeafa1ea776fab7def~mv2
