Victory in the 400m would give Sun membership of an exclusive club as a winner of four or more world titles in one men's event. FMTNews

Sun Yang will be aiming to join an exclusive club by retaining his 400m title.

A three-month ban for the use of a banned stimulant in 2014 was always going to sully his legacy but more serious allegations are currently under consideration at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Sun will defend the gold in the 200 and also swim in the 800 and the 1,500 freestyle, but there can be little doubt that retaining the 400 title he has held since 2013 is by far his best chance of snaring that 10th gold.

Horton, who publicly dubbed Sun a “drug cheat” and was runner-up behind him at the last worlds, has struggled this year and missed out on qualification at the Australian trials, only making the team as a discretionary pick.
