In January 2020, a documentary on systemic doping in international weightlifting by the German broadcaster ARD featured a hidden camera interview with Gulnoi, where she admitted to having continuously doped since the age of 18, including ahead of the 2012 Summer Olympics.[5] Bossaba Yodbangtoey, the head of the Thai Amateur Weightlifting Association, stated Gulnoi exaggerated the extent of doping practices in Thai weightlifting.[6]
