GWANGJU, South Korea: China's Sun Yang and British rival Duncan Scott were rebuked by FINA on Tuesday following a heated exchange after Sun retained the 200 metres freestyle world title.
The triple Olympic champion shook his fist at Scott before getting in his face, waving his finger at the Briton and barking:"You're a loser - I win!" Swimming's governing body warned Sun and Scott for bringing the sport into disrepute, a FINA statement reading:"Both competitors had an inadequate behaviour on this occasion".FINA also sent a letter to Horton for a similar podium snub at the weekend, which reignited a bitter feud that goes back to the 2016 Rio Olympics."If Sun can't respect our sport then why should I respect him?" he said."I think a lot of people, everyone in swimming, got behind what Mack did.
The pair's Olympic clash triggered a war of words and almost threatened to spark a diplomatic row as China's state-run media called Australia a"second-class citizen" of the West and accused it of"white supremacy".
