Sadly, I think this is a case of reversion to old personal demons.

A case that just makes you sad and not angry.

This is so sad. Given his history of substance abuse I don’t believe for a second that this is related to doping. I hope he can overcome this latest setback.

The Swiss Supreme Court ruling allowed WADA to retry him. The original verdict was overturned because the first trial wasn’t conducted in a manner that was fair to Sun.
