BEIJING - Chinese swimmer Sun Yang said he will "definitely" appeal to the Swiss Federal Tribunal against the Court of Arbitration for Sport decision to ban him for eight years. "The appeal filed on 14 February 2019 by the World Anti-Doping Agency against the decision issued on 3 January 2019 by the Doping Panel of the Federation Internationale de Natation is upheld," CAS said in its ruling. The CAS held only the second public hearing in November 2019 after WADA appealed against FINA's decision that Sun was not guilty of anti-doping violations.
