On August 15, 2008, the International Olympic Committee announced that Thương had tested positive for the banned substance furosemide. IOC medical commission chairman Arne Ljungqvist stated that Thương's use of furosemide was likely to be accidental, and the result of receiving poor information on doping restrictions. Nonetheless, she was expelled from the Olympic Games and her athlete accreditation was revoked. In 2012, she competed in the 2012 London Olympic Games and did not advance to any finals.
