The statement from Qianxihe Food Group, the Games’s official pork supplier, said the pork from its pigs, which will be raised in secret locations, would not cause Olympic athletes to fail doping tests due to residual antibiotics and steroids.

"Anti-doping concerns during the Olympics have caused officials to tighten food safety regulations so that athletes will be guaranteed food quality," reports quoted company spokesman Niu Shengnan as saying.
