That prevents a return for <strong>Sun Yang,<\/strong> who isn\u2019t eligible to return from his doping suspension until May.<\/p>\n<p>China will base <a href=\"http:\/\/swimming.sport.org.cn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">its selection for the Olympics<\/a> on results at the two most recent World Championships, in Fukuoka last summer and at the 2024 Doha Worlds. There will also be a nationals meet held in Shenzhen in April as a final trials in the hybrid process.<\/p>\n<p>Due to his suspension, Sun will not be present at any of those meets, effectively ending his slim chances of qualifying for a fourth Olympics. The criteria also lists a provision disqualifying for selection any athlete suspended by more than one year for doping, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/olympics\/news\/sun-yang-suspension-swimming-olympics-china\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">per NBC Sports\u2019 reporting<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sun was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sun-yang-verdict-the-fina-doping-panel-ruling-that-triggered-wada-action\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">suspended for eight years<\/a> by the World Anti-Doping Agency in 2020 for an incident in which he smashed vials of blood during a 2018 doping test.
