GWANGJU, South Korea: American swimmer Caeleb Dressel has called for cool heads at the world championships after athletes protested against China's Sun Yang over shocking allegations the triple Olympic champion had destroyed dope test samples with a hammer.
"One thing I learned from my older brothers is there's two sides to everything," said Dressel, who swept seven world titles in 2017. Horton and Scott were both given official rebukes by swimming's governing body FINA -- as was Sun, who squared up to Scott and jabbed a finger in his face, barking:"You loser, I win!"
"Those dopers shouldn't be in the sport, there shouldn't be any doping in sport," added the 24-year-old. China's sporting idol has always argued that he took prescribed medication for a heart problem, while Chinese doping officials are believed to have failed to update their therapeutic use exemptions list for athletes.
