FINA World Championships 2019: Swimmers slam Sun Yang over doping allegations, back Mack Horton for snubbing Olympic star on podium

Firstpost  

World championship swimmers slammed China’s Sun Yang over lurid doping allegations and said competitors were firmly behind Australia’s Mack Horton, who snubbed the Olympic star on the podium. Gwangju: World championship swimmers slammed China’s Sun Yang over lurid doping allegations and said competitors were firmly behind Australia’s Mack Horton, who snubbed the Olympic star on the podium. America’s Matt Grevers said many competitors “don’t trust” Sun, while world record-holder Lilly King said athletes “erupted in applause” after Horton refused to join his rival on the podium for photos after the 400 metres freestyle medals ceremony. What he did was certainly brave and gutsy and I have a lot of respect for him for doing that.” ‘Pretty baller’ Asked if he felt confident he would be competing in clean races in South Korea this week, Larkin shrugged: “You can never be confident – I know I’m a clean athlete and do everything I can, so I just have to trust that’s enough.” Olympic breaststroke champion King, one of swimming’s most outspoken athletes, revealed that swimmers at the village had applauded Horton’s protest after the medal ceremony, which triggered boos from Chinese fans and prompted Sun to criticise the Aussie for being “disrespectful to China.” “Pretty baller, honestly,” the American said of Horton’s actions.
