Just now, Sun Yang spoke out on Weibo, responding to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS)’s announcement of an eight-year ban from competition: I have always believed in my innocence.
The original text is as follows: I have just finished training, and I have always believed in my innocence. When I received the ruling from the International Court of Arbitration for Sport, I was shocked, angry and couldn’t understand it!
I clearly followed the regulations of the doping control and actively cooperated, but it was just because the inspectors were not qualified. They themselves admitted this at the time, so they agreed not to take the blood sample. How could it be my mistake? !
Considering the problems existing in the hearing of this case by the International Court of Arbitration for Sport, I have entrusted a lawyer to file an appeal to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court in accordance with the law. Let more people know the truth.
I firmly believe in my innocence! Believe that truth will defeat lies!
Thank you again for your support and help! Thanks to the State Sports General Administration, the Chinese Swimming Association and leaders at all levels for their concern, and to sports fans at home and abroad for their support! I will fight to the end to defend my legitimate rights and interests!
