LAUSANNE: Chinese swimmer Sun Yang will miss the Tokyo Olympics after the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Tuesday decided he had violated anti-doping rules.The swimming competition in Tokyo is due to start on July 24.

The reigning 200m freestyle Olympic champion, as well as an 11-time world champion, says the doping testers were not qualified or authorised.
