BEIJING: Chinese swimmer Sun Yang said he will 'definitely' appeal to the Swiss Federal Tribunal against the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) decision to ban him from swimming for eight years. 'This is unfair. I firmly believe in my innocence,' Sun said. 'I will definitely appeal to let more people know about the truth.'

The CAS upheld on Friday an appeal by the World Anti-Doping Agency , ruling that Sun had refused to cooperate with drug sample collectors during a controversial visit to his home in September 2018. "Sun Yang is sanctioned with an 8 year period of ineligibility, commencing on the date of the present arbitral award," it added.

"More specifically, the athlete failed to establish that he had a compelling justification to destroy his sample collection containers and forego the doping control when, in his opinion, the collection protocol was not in compliance with the ISTI." Sun won gold in the 200m freestyle at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, as well as the 400m and 1,500m freestyle at the 2012 Olympics in London. The 28-year-old also claimed 200m and 400m freestyle titles at the 2019 FINA World Championships in Gwangju, South Korea.
