In May 2008, he was banned for life from the sport for a positive anti-doping test.[1] In July 2008, FINA announced his lifetime ban by the Chinese Swimming Association with a posting on their anti-doping website.[2] As of December 2010, this posting has been updated with a change of the ban from lifetime to 2-years.[3]

In December 2010, an AP report surfaced which indicated that his lifetime ban had been converted to a more-conventional 2-year ban; however, Ouyang was experience difficulties in return to competition in China, where the lifetime ban originated and was still in place.[4]
