It is Sun's second ban for doping, having served three months in 2014. FMTNews SunYang DrugAbuse
The Court of Arbitration for Sport banned the swimmer for refusing to give a doping sample in September 2018.
It is the 28-year-old’s second ban for doping, having served three months in 2014, and he said in the immediate aftermath that he would appeal at the Swiss federal court. “On this day, CAS listened to prejudice, turned a blind eye to rules and procedures, turned a blind eye to facts and evidence, and accepted all lies and false evidence.”
A vial of Sun’s blood was smashed with a hammer during the contentious testing session in 2018, but he was acquitted by world swimming body FINA of anti-doping violations, agreeing that testers failed to produce adequate identification. The severity of the ban reflected the fact that it was his second doping violation. He served three months in 2014 for taking a banned substance.
