Chinanews.com Client, February 26th. According to the Associated Press, the judgment of Sun Yang by the International Sports Arbitration Court will be announced within a few days. At the same time, the Associated Press said: "The FINA has been working to protect Sun Yang from punishment."

On November 15, 2019, Beijing time, a hearing on the "violent resistance check" of Chinese swimmer Sun Yang was held in Montreux, Switzerland. After a long wait of more than 3 months, Sun Yang's "violent resistance check" may be Ended.

Foreign media exposed Sun Yang's "violent refusal"

In January 2019, the Sunday Times reported that the Olympic champion Sun Yang could face a life-long suspension because of a conflict with doping testers.

In the afternoon, Lawyer Sun Yang issued a lawyer's statement on the matter, calling the article a false report and restoring the truth of the incident. The statement stated that IDTM staff had multiple violations during the entire inspection process when Sun Yang conducted an anti-doping inspection outside the competition.

First of all, the three personnel including the blood inspector and the urine inspector were unable to provide the authorization documents required for the inspection. In addition, the blood inspector and the urine inspector were unable to provide the corresponding qualification certificates, which were classified as “unlicensed employment”. Finally, these "prosecutors" made false statements and malicious slander in their inspection reports.

In addition, the lawyer's statement also clearly stated that at the end of 2018, the FINA held a 13-hour hearing on the matter and "confirmed that Sun Yang did not violate the World Anti-Doping Regulations."

Holden, Scott play by topic

In July 2019, the Gwangju Swimming World Championships in South Korea was held as scheduled. Some foreign media and athletes believe that Sun Yang is not eligible to appear in the World Championships.

In the men's 400-meter freestyle competition, Sun Yang won the championship in 3 minutes, 42 seconds and 44 minutes, achieving four consecutive World Championships. However, at the award ceremony after the game, Australian player Holden, who won the silver medal, again did nothing wrong, and refused to board the podium to take a photo with Sun Yang.

British player Scott also imitated Holden's approach. At the award ceremony of the 200-meter freestyle, he not only refused to take a photo, but also encouraged Russian players to ignore Sun Yang together. Scott's move also caused Sun Yang's dissatisfaction. To express his protest, Sun Yang fisted angrily at him and responded, "You lose, I win."

Prove it to the world

Before the World Championships began, Sun Yang's team of lawyers issued a statement expressing opposition to the "trial" of individual foreign media and inciting third parties on the Internet to react negatively and defamatoryly. At the same time, the International Sports Arbitration Tribunal (CAS) is required to open to the public when it holds a hearing in order to be open and transparent and to prove its innocence.

On November 15, 2019, the International Sports Arbitration Tribunal (CAS) held a public hearing on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) v. Sun Yang and the FINA case in Montreux, Switzerland, where both Sun Yang and his team of lawyers attended Hearings.

The hearing started at 9 am local time on the 15th, and it did not end until around 7 pm. Sun Yang, in a black suit, was accompanied by a team of lawyers to attend the hearing.

At the hearing, Sun Yang restored the entire incident and explained and clarified many details that attracted much attention from the outside world.

At the end of the hearing, Sun Yang came forward again to make a concluding speech. He said that more than 430 days have passed since the incident, and that his body, mind, reputation and team have suffered great damage, and that the family has had a difficult time; standing here now is to tell everyone the truth through public hearings, "tell everyone Nothing was concealed ... I believe the arbitral tribunal will make a fair ruling and I will be innocent. "

Previously, according to the hearing process announced by the International Sports Arbitration Tribunal, the specific ruling results would not be pronounced in court. On November 10, 2019 local time, the official website of the International Sports Arbitration Tribunal announced that due to inaccurate translations, both parties needed to provide transcripts again. The hearing of Sun Yang, originally scheduled to be sentenced in early January 2020, will be postponed to January. The results of the arbitration will be announced later.

It is worth mentioning that after the hearing's ruling is not final, the two parties can appeal within 15 days. If they choose to appeal and the result is still the same, then the matter will be concluded. (Finish)
