Sun Yang asks anti-doping authorities to respect athlete rights

China Daily  

Chinese Olympic swimmer Sun Yang called on judges to reach an "impartial decision" and made an emotional plea to anti-doping authorities to respect the rights of athletes at a hearing held at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, or CAS, in Montreux, Switzerland on Friday. The court heard an appeal brought by the World Anti-Doping Agency, or WADA, relating to an incident on Sept. 4, 2018 when Sun refused a drug test at his family home. Sun said that drug control officers had not provided adequate documentation, and he also became suspicious when one of them started filming the drug test. WADA's lawyers also said that, even if drug collection officers had failed to adequately follow protocol outlined under the International Standard for Testing and Investigations, Sun should still have provided his blood and urine samples, and which he could have filed a complaint.
