Sun the king of drama as Chinese star swims through endless controversy
READ MORE
Aside from Mack Horton’s infamous “drug cheat” taunt, the most memorable comment about Sun Yang from the Rio Olympics came from Frenchman Camille Lacourt, not any of Horton’s equally as disapproving Australian squad mates.
“Sun Yang, he pisses purple,” the wonderfully unfiltered backstroker told a French radio station. “When I see the 200m [freestyle] podium, I want to be sick.”
It was a brutal judgement passed at an Olympics that would be a tinderbox for doping issues, one which Horton ignited at the pool before others, like American Lilly King, joined the pile on.
That Sun, who had once served a three-month doping ban in virtual secrecy, was at the heart of it all was no surprise. The Chinese star has a flair for the dramatic and rarely seems to be far away from controversy, to the point where he has emerged as one of the great Olympic villains, or heroes, depending on where you happen to reside.
