Sun Yang questioned his testers’ credentials and smashed blood sample vials with a hammer.
CAS said the eight-year ban was imposed because Sun, 28, already had an earlier anti-doping rule violation against him from 2014.“I have entrusted a lawyer to appeal to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court in accordance with the law. I will let more people know the truth,” he added. “I firmly believe in my innocence! Believe that facts must overcome lies!Sun and members of the 28-year-old’s entourage had smashed vials containing blood samples taken at an out-of-competition test in September 2018.
“The CAS Panel unanimously determined, to its comfortable satisfaction, that the athlete violated Article 2.5 Fina DC ,” the CAS statement said. The statement added that it was “one thing, having provided a blood sample, to question the accreditation of the testing personnel while keeping the intact samples in the possession of the testing authorities.
CAS ruled that his world championship results should stand because he passed dope tests before and after the aborted 2018 control.Wada welcomed the ruling as “a significant result” and said it was “satisfied that justice in this case has been rendered.”
