In the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Ye tested positive for steroids and was banned from international competition for 15 months. She maintained that she had followed the instructions of the team physician, but was nonetheless reviled in the Chinese press for bringing disgrace to her country and family. Officials later admitted that the team physician bore responsibility.[1]

In 1992, she competed against U.S. speed skater Bonnie Blair and won the silver medal in the 500 metres event with a time of 40.51. She also won a silver medal in the 1000 metres competition. Her silver in the 500m was the first medal for a Chinese athlete at the Winter Olympics.[1] Two years later she won the bronze medal in the 1000 metres contest and finished 13th in the 500 metres event. She was the winner for World Sprint Speed Skating Championships for Women in 1992 and 1993.
