Sun Yang's Australian coach says the Chinese swim king is no drug cheat and has been the victim of 'ill-informed' protests from athletes at the world championships
Sun Yang of China celebrates winning Men's 400m Freestyle Final at the 18th FINA World Swimming Championships at Nambu University Municipal Aquatics Center, Gwangju, South Korea on July 21, 2019.
"I don't know if people think he was given a magic pill at birth and it's sustained him for all of these successes," added Cotterell, pointing out Sun is one of the most tested athletes in the sport. Australia's Mack Horton refused to take the podium after losing to Sun in the 400 metres freestyle last weekend before Briton Duncan Scott also snubbed his offer to shake hands after Sun retained his 200m title."If he had anything to hide, why would he have even fronted?" asked Cotterell, referring to a test that took place at the athlete's Hangzhou villa in the early hours of September 5 last year.
The World Anti-Doping Agency appealed that decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, who will hear the case in September. "I've had great support from coaches across the board here in terms of the fact that this is not the place to make their protests. It's unfortunate for a lot of people that their achievements have been overshadowed.
