Former runner ‘can contribute enormously’ to city and is ‘trustworthy’ despite doping accusations against ex-coach, Legco member Shang says
Former distance runner Wang, 52, had her residency confirmed on Wednesday under the city’s Quality Migrant Admission Scheme, along with her 15-year-old daughter Huang Danting.
It came 29 years after the end of Wang’s controversial athletics career, in which she won 5,000 metres gold at the 1996 Olympics and set several world records – largely under Ma Junren, whom China later dropped as a coach when six other athletes failed blood tests.
