"I will definitely appeal to let more people know the truth."After calling Sun a "drug cheat" at the Rio Games, silver medallist Horton refused to share the podium with the gold medal-winner in Gwangju, South Korea, last year.

The statement added that it was "one thing, having provided a blood sample, to question the accreditation of the testing personnel while keeping the intact samples in the possession of the testing authorities.
