After more than a year, the "Sun Yang case" ushered in the final judgment.
According to the results of the second-instance trial, although the penalty for the suspension remained unchanged, the time was shortened from eight years to four years and three months, a total of 51 months.
From February last year, by May 2024, Sun Yang can lift the ban and return to the field.

For such a result, Sun Yang seems to be able to accept it calmly, although the process will be very difficult, but he is still confident in himself, missing the Tokyo Olympics and the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Among the many athletes, Sun Yang is definitely the best.
He is China's first men's olympic champion, winning three Olympic gold medals and 11 World Championships, making him the best mid- and long-distance freestyle swimmer of the past decade.
At the same time, there are many controversies, and some media have listed Sun Yang's "seven deadly sins", such as opposing his mentor, driving without a license, and scolding reporters for ridiculing teammates, resulting in netizens' comments on Sun Yangfeng gradually deteriorating.
To discuss the reasons behind this, it is naturally related to Sun Yang himself, but it is also inseparable from his mother Yang Ming.
A reporter who has been interviewing swimming projects for many years said: "Sun Yang's nature is not bad, and his mother has played a negative role. ”
Everyone says that Sun Yang is a "mother treasure man", and when it comes to the reasons, we must start from when I was a child.
In 1991, Sun Yang was born in Hangzhou, his father Sun Quanhong and his mother Yang Ming were both volleyball players, and later one went to school to become a teacher.
Born in such a sports family, Sun Yang is destined to inherit his parents' career, and he has a talent for sports.
At the age of six, Sun Yang grew up to the point where he could not sleep in the kindergarten bed, was sent to learn to swim, and in just three years, he won the primary school swimming championship in Hangzhou.
Later, Sun Yang entered the Zhejiang Provincial Swimming Team, and then to the national team, all the way back, out of control.
The faster the son progressed, the busier the mother, Yang Ming.
In order to supplement her son's nutrition, she insisted on making soup for her son 365 days a year, whether he was cold or hot.
In that era when the Internet was not yet convenient, she relied on flipping through books, consulting colleagues and friends engaged in medicine, and changing different recipes to make soup every day according to the child's physical condition and weather conditions.
The place where the son trained and the home one in the east and one in the west, Yang Ming first rode a bicycle to deliver soup, but it was very inconvenient, and then the couple resisted the pressure of just buying a house, bought a car, just so that the son could drink hot soup as soon as possible.
It is easy to do a thing, but it is difficult to stick to it, but what Yang Ming is best at is persistence.
In 2007, Sun Quanhong was unfortunately in a car accident and was seriously injured and needed to be cared for.
Under the pressure of taking care of her husband, going to work, and taking care of the family, Yang Ming still insisted on making soup for his son.
In addition to diet, Sun Yang always accompanies yang every time he competes, one swims in the water and one runs on the shore.
Sometimes when there is a class, Yang Ming either changes shifts or lets colleagues with good relations substitute for the class.
Colleagues can understand Yang Ming's love for his son and are generally willing to help.
Every day the training time is very tight, and Yang Ming always helps his son pack his luggage before going out.
So when he was a child, Sun Yang almost didn't eat a meal outside, and in the sixth grade of primary school, he let his mother tie her shoelaces.
Sun Yang, who has been taken care of since childhood, is also accustomed to his mother always being around.
The director of the swimming center once complained that the mother accompanied her son to compete, and frightened Sun Yang and said: "If your parents follow again, you will not compete!" ”
As a result, Sun Yangman didn't care: "It's gold that always shines, I can't practice, you don't let my mother go, I won't practice." ”
Mother? nanny? It is no longer clear in Yang Ming's body, and her identity is more than that.
Sun Yang grew up day by day, and his fame became bigger and bigger, holding the title of Olympic champion, entering the entertainment industry, and frequently appearing in variety shows.
In this way, the work affairs are more and more onerous, and the team or company is needed to take care of it, and this kind of work related to the son's career and image, Yang Ming naturally has to intervene and act as an agent.
For example, Sun Yang's personal Weibo has always been managed by his mother.
There was a website looking for Sun Yang to cooperate, Yang Ming directly offered a Weibo of 10,000 yuan, the result of which scared the other party away.
When recording the variety show, where Sun Yang is, Yang Ming is where, from the costume to the program arrangement, she has to look at it in advance, and the staff folds the clothes for Sun Yang, and Yang Ming will open and re-fold it.
Some people have calculated that between 2014 and 2020, Sun Yang changed five brokerage companies in six years, although each has its own reasons, but it is more or less related to family interference.
On the "Spit Conference", Zhang Shaogang couldn't help but complain, Sun Yang created a lot of records in the show, the first one was to take parents.
During the 2012 London Olympics, Sun Yang had to live in the athletes' village and could not be with his parents.
This can make Yang Ming worry about the bad, every day busy preparing the next day's things to bring, after packing and then repeatedly checking, nervous to sleep only two hours a night.
The Olympic Games really can't be done, but other competitions, Yang Ming can't take care of so much.
For example, in 2011, at the National Swimming Championships in Wuhan, Yang Ming threatened Sun Yang's retirement and strongly demanded to live with Sun Yang.
It is easy for the son to be around, but he is not around, and he has gone abroad? Then call, three a day, one in the morning, one in the middle and one in the evening, which is much more dedicated than a real agent.
In the face of the media's long guns and short guns, Yang Ming always rushed in front of his son.
In 2012, Sun Yang trained in the swimming pool of a university in Tianjin.
In order not to be disturbed by the outside world, the swimming pool is heavily guarded, all entrances are locked, outsiders are not allowed to enter, and even the vice principal has to negotiate for half a day.
After the training, Sun Yang and his mother walked out of the swimming pool, and reporters who had been squatting outside for a long time came to take photos and interviews.
When Yang Ming saw the situation, he launched a rage and reprimanded the reporter: "Don't shoot!" Sick of it! Hate to die! ”
At Yang Ming's urging, Sun Yang got into the car and kept holding a bag to block his face.
Yang Ming is not deeply disgusted with the reporter, and if allowed, he is happy to talk with the reporter, but before the chat ended, he said: "Don't write out what you said before." ”
Yang Ming attaches great importance to the image of her son, and even if there is no unfavorable content for Sun Yang in the report, she will say some opinions and suggestions, not to mention other negative news.
There was a Brazilian reporter who wanted to interview Sun Yang, but Yang Ming refused, on the grounds that your TV was on Brazil, what good would it do us?
Afterwards, a domestic reporter posted the matter on Weibo, and after Yang Ming learned about it, he immediately called the unit to ask for punishment for the reporter.
Yang Ming, the "agent", is certainly very responsible, but sometimes it is more or less overdone, she thinks that she is shielding her son from the wind and rain, but to some extent, it is attracting black.
So that some people will say that it is Yang Ming's poor attitude towards the media on weekdays that has led to Sun Yang's reluctance to "spare his subordinates" after the accident.
This is true externally, and Yang Ming is also rude to the inside.
Mentor Zhu Zhigen worked with Sun Yang for ten years, witnessing his development from a nameless young player to a world champion, originally the two had a good relationship, but later there was a lot of unhappiness.
For example, Sun Yang once had a swim trunk by the pool, there was no bath towel to change into swim trunks, and after the foreign female athletes saw it, they found Zhu Zhigen and hoped that he would remind Sun Yang.
Perhaps Zhu Zhigen's tone of inquiry was too impulsive, asking twice, and Sun Yang denied it twice.
Zhu Zhigen saw that Sun Yang was lying, but he directly slapped him.
After this matter was known to Yang Ming, she went to the school leaders to complain that Zhu Zhigen did not respect people and hurt Sun Yang's self-esteem.
Later, Zhu Zhigen and Sun Yang's communication became less and less, and Yang Ming took on the task of coaching, running back and forth on the shore, holding a stopwatch and paper and pencil, observing the training of Sun Yang's opponents, and said with a complaining tone: "If this is exchanged for Zhu Zhigen, can he do it?" ”
It can be seen from this that Yang Ming is afraid that he has long been dissatisfied with Zhu Zhigen, and it is not difficult to understand that the ten-year master-apprentice relationship can go to a rupture.
When the son grows up, he always has to fall in love and get married, Sun Yang once fell in love with a National Airlines sister, and he also generously admitted that the woman's eldest grandson Yang was five years old.
According to the rumors, the coach was afraid that love would affect the training and suggested that Sun Yang break up, and his mother Yang Ming was even more opposed, and even had a direct conflict with the woman.
Sun Yang explained that at the beginning, the leader and his mother were really opposed, and they were asked to talk, and only after saying "I am a man, I will definitely have responsibility and responsibility, and I will definitely handle the relationship between love and training" was tacitly approved.
But from this, it can be imagined that if you want to be the daughter-in-law of the Sun family, your mother-in-law is not happy.
Yang Ming's various efforts have indeed cultivated an excellent talent, but it also makes Sun Yang, who is busy with training all day, have no opportunity to establish a mature and complete personality, and his personality becomes willful, and he will also say "You loser!" I'm win!", "Horton is a man who lacks mother's discipline," "Horton, Guy, you can drink my foot-washing water if you swim faster."
When participating in the show, not only did you have to take your mother, but also ran to the center of the field, interrupted the guests' speeches, and other controversial words and deeds.
Although Sun Yang is a big hero, he sometimes acts like a big boy next door.
Sun Yang's failure is indeed related to her mother Yang Ming, who is overprotective and doting.
Although the loving mother has many defeated children, from another point of view, everything Yang Ming does is out of the mother's instinct, the mother does not protect the son, who will protect it?
It's just Yang Ming's maternal love, giving too much and too much.
Some people say that a person has to go through three separations to be truly grown.
The first was a physical separation from the mother at an early age, the second was a psychological separation from the mother as a teenager, and the third was a separation from the original family as an adult.
For Sun Yang, it may not even be possible to complete the second separation.
He did not know how long he had been swimming in the water, but he never seemed to be able to swim out of the palm of his mother's hand.
Time is not waiting, now 29 years old Sun Yang, in the pool time is not much, before the official retirement, let the excessive maternal love withdraw it.
Of course, no matter what, Sun Yang still has too many remarkable places, hoping to see his king's wind again on the field.
