Chinanews.com client, January 16th. The Swiss Federal Supreme Court issued a press announcement on the 15th local time, explaining the reasons for supporting Sun Yang’s petition and revoking Sun Yang’s 8-year suspension.
Because one of the arbitrators in the arbitration panel of the International Sports Arbitration Tribunal is biased and discriminatory, it is now necessary to form a new arbitration panel and make a new judgment.

As a matter of fact, as early as December 24 last year, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court announced to the public that the eight-year ban on Sun Yang was revoked by the International Sports Arbitration Court.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) website also released news that it has been informed that the Swiss Federal Court has decided to support the Chinese swimmer Sun Yang’s application for a revised sentence and revoke the CAS (International Court of Arbitration for Sports) panel’s ban on the latter in February last year. ruling.

The press release stated that Sun Yang’s evidence was compliant and effective. An investigation of Fratini’s personal remarks, chairman of the Arbitration Panel of the International Court of Arbitration for Sports, found that he was racially discriminatory and full of violence. His remarks had clearly pointed to Chinese people. Skin color, after being appointed as the chairman of the Sun Yang case arbitration panel, still made a lot of racial discrimination and prejudice.
Therefore, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court supported Sun Yang's questioning of the fairness of the arbitration panel of the International Court of Arbitration for Sports under the leadership of Frattini, and revoked the previous penalty decision on Sun Yang's 8-year ban.
Next, the International Sports Arbitration Court needs to reorganize an arbitration panel to hear Sun Yang's case and make a judgment.
On the Internet, the label "Officially Announced on the Reasons for the Revocation of Sun Yang's Suspended Decision" quickly climbed to the top of the hot search list. Netizens discussed their views on the incident, and most of the voices naturally stood on Sun Yang's side.

The source of the whole incident can be traced back to an out-of-match doping check on Sun Yang on September 4, 2018.
Due to doubts about the qualification certificates presented by the inspectors, the inspection was not completed.
That night, three staff members of the International Doping Control Management Company (IDTM) went to Sun Yang’s residence to conduct an out-of-competition anti-doping inspection. IDTM then reported to FINA that “Sun Yang violently resisted the inspection”, and Sun Yang said “ He fully cooperated with the inspection, but the inspectors had a number of illegal operations during the process."

On November 19, 2018, FINA held a hearing on the matter in Lausanne, Switzerland. Sun Yang himself attended the hearing.
On January 3, 2019, the FINA Anti-Doping Committee made a ruling: The doping inspection carried out by IDTM this time was invalid. Sun Yang did not violate the World Anti-Doping Regulations, but his behavior to sabotage sampling is not desirable .
On March 12, 2019, the World Anti-Doping Agency filed an appeal with the International Sports Arbitration Tribunal on the FINA’s ruling on Sun Yang doping testing.

On November 15, 2019, the International Court of Arbitration for Sports held a public hearing in Montreux, Switzerland, to hear the WADA’s appeal against Sun Yang and FINA.

On February 28, 2020, the arbitration result of the "Sun Yang case" was officially announced. In the end, Sun Yang lost the lawsuit and was suspended for eight years.
Sun Yang subsequently appealed to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court and was accepted that year.
Today, Sun Yang's team's persistent resistance has achieved initial results, and this "reversal" has brought hope to Sun Yang.
I believe that Sun Yang, who has been working hard for the past year, has also been preparing for this moment.
