According to a number of foreign media reported by @Five Star Sports on the 5th, the final appeal of Chinese swimmer Sun Yang to the judgment of the Court of Arbitration for Sport last year was rejected.
In a statement, the Swiss court ruled that Sun Yang's punishment by the International Court of Arbitration for Sport "does not violate the basic principles of public order, nor has Sun Yang's right to make representations in any way", which cannot be a ground for the athlete to appeal further".
As a result, Sun Yang's 4-year and 3-month ban period (51 months) begins on February 28, 2020, and the end of the ban will be at the end of May 2024, when he will have the opportunity to participate in the Paris Olympic Games.
As for Sun Yang's future, Phelps, the former swimming overlord, said in an interview with the surging news reporter during the Tokyo Olympic Games last year that he was very optimistic about Sun Yang's comeback.
"Through my observation of Sun Yang over the years, he is obviously a very talented player, and his performance in the pool is very remarkable."
In Phelps's view, "If Sun Yang has the enthusiasm and desire to return to the field, he can definitely complete any goal he wants to achieve, it will be very interesting, and a game like the Olympics will 'miss' him." ”
Recently, Sun Yang has repeatedly brought goods live on the online platform, but he also said that he is still insisting on training.
"From my own point of view, from my family's point of view, it is very difficult to choose. It is no accident that I have come to this day, and it is the reward of my years of hard work. ”
"The Paris Olympics for me are difficulties and opportunities, there are difficulties to have motivation, do what you have to do, go with the flow, everyone will see what everyone wants to see." 」
