Women's 100m race champion Wang Jing will be banned for life from competition for failing a doping test at the 11th Chinese National Games, a top Chinese athletics official said here on Monday.

Shen Chunde, vice director of the Chinese Athletics Administration Center (CAAC), the country's track and field governing body, said, "CAAC has decided to ban Wang Jing and her coach for life from competition. But Wang has the right to appeal this decision and she can also ask for a check of her Sample B."

Wang, from southeastern Fujian Province, was the gold medal winner in women's 100m final and second in 200m preliminary competition. Her results were stripped off after the test result became known.

She tested positive for metabolites of epitestosterone and testosterone, deputy head of the Games' competition committee, Sun Yuanfu, told a press conference earlier on Monday morning.

It is the third doping case at the Games after Guo Linna, a rower from Henan Province and Li Jie, a shooter from Inner Mongolia were found to haven taken banned substances earlier at the Games.
