Sun Yang can play again

According to the BBC, CAS and International Swimming Federation (FINA) approved the ruling, but declined to comment. The representative of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which brought Sun Yang to court, said: “We will take the steps to present the case in the most detailed way before the new chair is appointed. CAS Executive Board “.

Sun Yang, the three gold Olympic goldfish winners, is considered a symbol of Chinese swimming. He currently holds the world record in free 1,500m content, with a record of 14 minutes 31 seconds 02, set at the 2012 London Olympics.

Ranked in the legend of the green track, but Sun often gets into scandals with banned substances. In May 2014, he was banned from playing for three months for using the banned substance trimetazidine. In September 2018, he was accused by WADA of using a hammer to smash a blood test at his home in Zhejiang. Pursuant to Article 2.5, the anti-doping law, the CAS prohibited Sun from playing for eight years, in a notice issued at the end of February 2020.

For a year and a half waiting for a conclusion from CAS, Sun was estranged from many of his colleagues. At the 2019 world championship, Mack Horton fishers refused to stand with Sun on the medal podium.

Under CAS rules, Sun has one month of appeal. But due to the influence of Covid-19, the term for Chinese fishermen was reversed. On December 23, SFT approved the 29-year-old athlete’s appeal.

According to the CNN, SFT’s ruling opens up hope to return to play for Sun, who has always been in vain since the incident. According to the Sun’s lawyers, the mermaid doubted the identities of the employees who came to the house to sample in 2018 and decided not to cooperate.

As the Tokyo Olympics move into the summer of 2021, Sun still hopes to participate in the Olympics. Two distances for his forte, is 400m and 1,500m freedom.
