据介绍，发生在去年１１月的围绕兴奋剂检查引起的争论是科瓦奇不愿参加奥运会的主要原因。她说：“匈牙利反兴奋剂小组的检测人员在中断检测后没有重新进行检测，而是在８天后举报了我。虽然匈牙利泳协和国际泳联已经撤销了对我的指控，但我再想进入泳池已经很困难。”

    科瓦奇说：“兴奋剂检测对于净化体育运动是必要的，但是应该以人性化的方式进行。”她强调说，不参加北京奥运会并不意味着她体育生涯的结束，她将参加７月份举行的匈牙利游泳锦标赛。

    匈牙利游泳协会主席加尔法什表示，很遗憾科瓦奇作出这样的决定，在一些问题上加尔法什不赞成她的观点。

    科瓦奇是悉尼奥运会女子２００米蛙泳金牌得主，她还７次登上欧洲大赛的冠军宝座。去年１０月３０日，她为了赶去与联合国儿童基金会官员见面而在一次兴奋剂检查中没能提供足够的尿样，事后受到匈牙利反兴奋剂小组的举报。１１月８日国际泳联宣布，在尿样采集过程中科瓦奇并未违反相关条例。

Hungarian Olympic champion swimmer Agnes Kovacs announced on Wednesday that she would not compete in the Beijing Olympic Games, MTI news agency reported.

Kovacs said her decision was mainly motivated by the fuss around the doping test which preceded the European short-course championships held in Debrecen last month.

She said: "This affair has influenced my decision. If it had not happened, I would have had sufficient strength to continue training for the Beijing Olympics."

The Olympic, world and European champion swimmer faced a doping charge after providing an insufficient urine sample for anti-doping officials in late October.

The swimmer said she had been unable to complete the unscheduled test because she had to leave to attend a previous engagement with UNICEF goodwill ambassador Sir Roger Moore. Another test taken on November 8 was found negative.

The disciplinary committee of the Hungarian Swimming Association ruled that Kovacs had had a valid reason for leaving and that she had not violated doping regulations. In early December the world swimming organization FINA also cleared her of the charge.

The swimmer, however, has not ended her career. She said she would continue to compete up until the Hungarian championships in July.
