We turn to some negative news from the ice as the China Skating Association has banned speed skater Shi Xiaoxuan from the national team for two years after failing a drug test, removing her from their squad for next month's 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.

Shi, here in the red, won a gold medal in the 500 metres at the Junior Speedskating World Cup in 2016. The 21-year-old tested positive for the banned substance clenbuterol on December 14, according to a statement posted by China's General Administration of Sports. Clenbuterol is a performance-enhancing substance sometimes found in weight-loss pills and is on the World Anti-Doping Agency banned list. The Association said the penalty is a "wake-up call" for Chinese athletes preparing for the Winter Olympics, which will take place in South Korea from February 9th to the 25th. The positive test is a blow for China, which will host the 2022 Winter Olympics.
