Swimming: New Sun Yang hearing set for May 24-28, says sports court

PARIS: The Court of Arbitration for Sport said on Thursday that a new hearing for Sun Yang, the Chinese swimming star who had an eight-year ban for doping overturned last year, will be held in May.AdvertisementSwitzerland's federal supreme court overturned the ban on the 29-year-old, who was accused of destroying a blood vial with a hammer when collectors visited his home in September 2018, over alleged bias towards the triple Olympic champion.

It will be composed of new president Hans Nater of Switzerland, France's Jan Paulsson and Bernard Hanotiau of Belgium."It will not be announced when the hearing ends, but at a later date," said CAS."I firmly believe in my innocence," he told China's Xinhua news agency soon after the original judgement by CAS in February last year.He also repeated his defence that the doping testers who went to his home in September 2018 were not qualified.
