Ex-Hasbeen 8,122 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 He still has 30 days to appeal, but given this was CAS, who does he appeal to? Link to post Share on other sites
steve 83 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Swiss courts - the Swiss Federal Tribunal and the supreme court. Swimming World has a pretty comprehensive article, with props to Mack Horton, too: https://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/news/sun-yang-vs-wada-verdict-damning-eight-year-ends-career-of-chinese-controversy/ By not backdating the suspension, CAS decided to allow the World Championship results to stand.

Kenneth 190 Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 8 years is a huge sentence. Not saying cheats don’t deserve it but it’s hardly consistent. Similar to the lance treatment. Link to post Share on other sites

Kenneth 190 Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Yeah I didn’t take that into account. I also didn’t know this was his third, thought second. I’ll go do some reading. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Trier 33 Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 I also think that not just his doping but the obvious disrespect for the entire anti doping sysrem shown. His narcissistic behaviour believing he was above the rules as they stand and that he and his ppl could make their own rules on the system in place, that's what got him 8 yrs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Crappy 61 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Yeah I can't see this going down well in swimming or the wider sporting community. It's been dropped on the back of a technicality. Link to post Share on other sites
2bruisedplums 12 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 I read the article. It seems one of the officials had posted racist comments online about Chinese. He probably has a fair case for an appeal but doubtful his sentence will change. Link to post Share on other sites

That's the problem with the internet ... it has a memory. This is just a technicality and the Swiss will see that the penalty isn't changed, but the judges are! Link to post Share on other sites
