Chou Tien Chen Tested for Doping Right After Victory
Chou Tien Chen dominated last week’s Super 500 Arctic Open, claiming his second title of the season, only to be called in for a doping test immediately after.
Chou cruised through the Arctic Open, ultimately defeating Indonesia’s Jonatan Christie in the final with a straight-set victory, 21-18, 21-17, securing his second title this season.
This week, Chou Tien Chen continues his busy schedule at the Super 750 Denmark Open. His physiotherapist, Gao Min-Shan (known as “Gao Jie”), shared on social media that “Chou was tested for doping right after arriving at the hotel.” Gao added humorously, “This is a recognition of our efforts.”
World No. 9 Chou Tien Chen will face Wang Tzu Wei in the first round of the Denmark Open, where Chou has claimed victory in all 11 of their past international meetings.
