TAIPEI, Taiwan — Two-time Olympic gold medallist Hsu Shu-ching apologized Friday for testing positive for doping and said she is willing to accept her punishment. The Taiwanese weightlifter was told of the result last year but the news was not made public until this week. The 27-year-old Hsu said the banned substance was contained in a dietary supplement she took ahead of the 2017 world championships. Hsu, who retired from the sport last year citing injuries, returned a silver medal she won at the championships and resigned a coaching position. She also won gold at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro.
