He is a cheat. Ban him from the Olympics.

10 ( +15 / -5 )

He is not the only one.

Many chinese athlets are under doping.

9 ( +12 / -3 )

He has had 2nd chances. Another good reason for other swimmers not to come to Tokyo. Not in 2021 anyway.

5 ( +8 / -3 )

Well, he can have a third chance then.

-3 ( +4 / -7 )

Dope for the dope by the dopes.

Maybe the Chinese will just send a robot in his stead.

2 ( +2 / -0 )

The Olympics, always a fine example of: Better living thru chemistry.

3 ( +3 / -0 )

China isn't any worse than most other nations for doping. Russia, The USA, UK, Jamaica and several other teams have many more convicted dopers in their ranks. Its widespread in many sports at all levels.

LOL! :-)

In all seriousness, I'm so indifferent about this because the "2021" Summer Olympics is a bust and if by some miracle it does happen you're not going to have all the top athletes and countries competing so any medal won will have very little meaning. At least it would for me if I was competing.

Cheat.

Clean athletes don't order their bodygards to assault the staff organising the drug tests, and then smash the vial with a hammer.

I'm sitting on the fence here. No, he should not have acted the way he did. But why on earth would officials appear at his place without the proper ID. Drug testing is vital and it has to be done properly, otherwise any Tom Dick or Harry can just take your specimen for god knows what purpose.

If Sun wants to cheat he should get expert advice from the Russians.
