The FIG notice revealed that Vi’s sample contained four banned substances: hydrochlorothiazide, chlorothiazide, amiloride, and sibutramine. Vi’s ban will be lifted on November 15, 2025. As a result, all of her performances from September 16, 2023 onward were nullified, including her 2023 FIG Asian Championship gold medal.

The market has been left fairly deserted over recent times, in contrast to previous years. The sluggish business situation makes traders depressed. Some use phones to play games or chat to pass away the time. Many store owners state that there has been a downturn in customers compared to previous years. This can largely be put down to the COVID-19 epidemic having a great influence on the economy, with less families spending money on buying essential goods. Similar scenes are recorded at Hang Da market. Many stores remain closed due to the downturn.
