Swiss judiciary cancels the penalty of banning the most famous Chinese swimmer for "racist tweets"

Today, the Swiss Federal Court decided to cancel the suspension imposed on the Chinese swimmer Sun Yang, who was excluded from the pools for eight years, for destroying the doping test sample he underwent in September 2018. The Federal Court said in a statement that it approved the request submitted by Chinese swimmer Sun Yang due to the bias of a member of the (CAS) (Court of Arbitration for Sports). The decision of (Cass) has been canceled, and she shall rule again in Sun Yang's case with a different assortment "of judges.


The bias reported by the highest judicial authority in Switzerland relates to the anti-Chinese racist tweets by the head of the Italian Judicial Committee (CAS) Franco Frattini.

Son (29 years) resorted to the Swiss Federal Court, after the Court of Arbitration for Sport decided last February to maintain the decision to suspend him for failing to provide evidence justifying the reason for destroying the doping test sample with the hammer because he considered that the examiners "did not respect the protocol of examination and investigations" approved.

Cass saw at the time, "There is a big difference after undergoing a blood test that doubts the credentials of the examiners and at the same time preserves the examination in their possession, then resorts to destroying the sample despite long discussions and warnings of the consequences, so it destroys the sample and thus It is forbidden to conduct another examination at a later time. "

The World Anti-Doping Agency "Wada" resorted to the arbitration court after Sun was acquitted by the International Swimming Federation "Vienna" for cosmetic reasons, which allowed the Chinese swimmer, who was suspended in 2014 due to activism, to participate in the 2019 World Championships in the South Korean city of Gwangju, which increased the number of His world titles to 11, in a move that raised the objection of many swimmers.

And after the Tokyo Olympics 2020 was postponed due to the repercussions of the new Corona virus, thanks to the decision of the Swiss Federal Court, Son will be able to participate in the Olympic Games whose date has moved to the summer of 2021, until further notice, pending the step that the "Cass" and "Wada" will take.
