Sun Yang is absolutely disgusting. He is a disgrace not only for swimming, but also for sport in general. 

 

At this point, it's FINA's fault for even allowing him to be here.  Same with the Olympics allowing the Russians.  

Apparently twitching on the starting blocks (not false starting) gets you DQ'd, but doping and smashing the evidence is a-o-k.

Sun Yang is Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad plus blatant doping, horrible.

Oh god that was so cringe as Sun Yang seemingly confronted Scott

I don't get it ...

I mean it is one thing to blatantly cheat and then just don't give a shit about what other people think (like Efimova), but how can you cheat so blatantly and then be surprised that other people don't respect you? I almost have the feeling as if he is only surrounded by people in China who treat him like a god and now he doesn't understand why not everyone treats him like that.

Park Tae-hwan also got disqualified for faulty start in 2012 (but got reinstated later).

 

I'm surprised that they didn't at least postpone the medal ceremony.

I didn't know swimming was the sport where all the drama queens competed against each other. 

 

The synchro swimmers are telling these swimmers to settle down.

There you go. I'd like to read Chinese media, I have a feeling he'll be declared a legend there.

You've just described how an authoritarian government works
