Sun hits out at doping coverage after retaining 400m world title
Online Edition
CHINA star Sun Yang attacked the media over negative coverage of Chinese swimmers after successfully defending his 400m freestyle title with gold in Sunday's final at the world swimming championships.
The Olympic champion clocked three minutes 42.58 seconds to leave him nearly three seconds short of the event's world record he is chasing.
Sun courted controversy in 2014 after it emerged he had served a three-month doping ban from the Chinese swimming authorities for taking a banned stimulant.
The 23-year-old used his winner's press conference to go on the attack at the media gathered in Kazan, especially after Ye Shiwen's 200m and 400m individual medley wins at the London Olympics attracted huge suspicion.
"For the doping cases, I don't know why the media paid so much attention to this," he said.
"The world media seems to think that whenever the Chinese get a good result, we are doping.
"We are training and working hard, just like athletes in countries all over the world.
"Athletes have been caught doping in other countries, like Australia, but not much is made of that and I think it's disrespectful to China."
