One day it was clear that Sun Yang would be competing in Fina's world tour. But after yesterday's message barely managed to land, another news came from the Chinese swimming team.

On social media, Sun Yang stands with the teammates of the Chinese swimming team and announces that his focus is on the Tokyo Olympics instead of the world tour, according to the Swimming World Magazine swimming site.

This year is the second year the tour is run and a total of just over 22 million in prize money is distributed during the year.

The doping accused Sun Yang won two gold medals at the World Cup this summer and is currently awaiting his verdict from the sport's international arbitration court, Cas.

A case that was edged by many headings and had been extensively mentioned from the first doping test was taken.
