SYDNEY, May 13 (Reuters) - Mack Horton is unconcerned whether Sun Yang escapes a ban and races at the Tokyo Games and more worried about getting through the Australian trials and booking his own spot in Japan, the Olympic champion said on Thursday.
Multiple Olympic and world champion Sun’s appeal against an eight-year ban for missing an out-of-competition doping test will be heard at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) later this month.
Horton has been outspoken about Sun’s doping record in the past, calling the Chinese swimmer a “drug cheat” before beating him to win 400m freestyle gold at the Rio Olympics and refusing to take to the podium with him at the 2019 world championships.
