SINGAPORE - Former Olympic champion Joseph Schooling and fellow national swimmer Amanda Lim have both been found to have consumed a controlled drug.
In a separate statement, Mindef said that the Singapore Armed Forces maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy towards drug abuse. Service personnel who test positive for drug abuse will be charged and sentenced to the SAF Detention Barracks.

Lim and Schooling are presently national carded athletes, and receive support from SportSG in that capacity.
