Horton, a ＂recidivist＂, was not only warned by FINA, but also exposed the black history.

　　Beijing, July 23 (Yu Wang) On the 22nd, Beijing time, FINA issued a statement, and decided to warn the Australian Swimming Association and mark houghton for Australian Horton’s refusal to take a photo with Sun Yang at the award ceremony.

　　FINA said that it respects the freedom of speech of athletes, but at the same time, it believes that everyone’s freedom of speech needs to be expressed in the right way.

　　Can’t afford to lose? Sun Yang won the championship and Horton refused to take a photo.

　　In the men’s 400-meter freestyle final of the World Championships, Sun Yang won the championship in 3 minutes, 42.44 seconds, achieving four consecutive championships in the World Championships. This is Sun Yang’s tenth gold medal in the World Championships, and it is also the most powerful proof that "everything in the competitive arena depends on the results".

　　However, at the award ceremony after the game, Australian Horton, who won the silver medal, once again made much ado about nothing and refused to take a photo with Sun Yang on the podium, which also caused boos from the audience. And Sun Yang also ignored, just laugh it off.

　　For Horton’s rude behavior, Sun Yang responded at the press conference that night: "The award is very sacred. You have thousands of unwillingness, but when you stand on the podium, you can disrespect me, but you must respect China."

　　This series of "storms" did not disturb Sun Yang, who entered the competition state. In the men’s 200m freestyle semi-final held on the evening of 22nd, he advanced to the final with a time of 1 minute 45.31 seconds. Tonight, Populus alba will attack the second gold medal in this World Championships.

　　Helpless! Horton made trouble at the Rio Olympics.

　　In fact, Horton’s unprovoked attack on Sun Yang can even be traced back to the Rio Olympic Games three years ago. At that time, before the men’s 400-meter freestyle final, Sun Yang took the initiative to greet him, but he was coldly greeted by his opponent.

　　What is even more jaw-dropping is that Horton beat Sun Yang to win the gold medal in the subsequent competition. However, after winning the gold medal, he openly attacked Sun Yang and called him a "doping player". Horton’s unprovoked slander immediately caused an uproar.

　　In response to Horton’s behavior, a spokesman for the International Olympic Committee once responded: "The audience wants to see fair, just and open sports events. We hope that athletes will adhere to the Olympic spirit and ask each athlete to respect each other."

　　As a party, Sun Yang immediately replied: "We are not friends". The Chinese Swimming Association also formally notified the Australian Swimming Association and asked Horton to publicly apologize for what he had done.

　　Comfortable! FINA issued a statement warning Horton

　　But this time, FINA’s attitude is even tougher. In their statement, they said: "FINA officials analyzed the situation of the men’s 400-meter freestyle award ceremony and decided to send a warning letter to Australian Swimming Co., Ltd. and its athlete Horton."

　　"FINA respects freedom of speech, but it must be done in an appropriate context. Like all major sports organizations, our athletes and their entourage should understand that they have the responsibility to respect FINA regulations and not to use FINA events to make personal statements or gestures. "

　　According to the usual practice, only FINA and the World Anti-Doping Agency are responsible for the investigation of doping in swimmers. When FINA decided that there was no violation in Sun Yang and court of arbitration for sports had not held a hearing on doping control in Sun Yang, Horton’s accusation was obviously groundless.

　　Recently, Sun Yang also issued a certificate through his lawyer, demanding that the hearing be made public to prove his innocence. FINA expressed a clear attitude: "Horton’s protest is currently under trial in court of arbitration for sports, and FINA will not comment on it before the hearing."

　　Condemn! Former executive of Australian anti-doping agency: Horton should be severely punished

　　Many people in the industry also criticized Horton’s loss after the game. Richard Inges, the former CEO of the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Administration, is one of them. He said on his personal social media that Horton should be severely punished for this.

　　Richard Inges, former CEO of the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Administration, said Horton should be severely punished.

　　"I’m not a fan of Sun Yang, but a series of things have been clarified before. Therefore, Horton’s failure to stand on the podium should be severely punished. " He wrote.

　　According to the internationally renowned swimming website "Swim Swam", Horton also "suggested" Italian player Deti who won the third place to stand on the podium before the award ceremony, but the Italian said, "I have paid too much for this bronze medal, and I want to stand on the podium."

　　Not only that, Horton also attracted resistance from foreign netizens on social media. Some netizens said: "Sun Yang’s participation in the competition has proved that he is innocent. I don’t understand that Horton wants to make a big fuss about this." "Why can’t Horton face the reality: he just can’t win Sun Yang?"

　　Interesting! Horton participated in the World Championships by "going through the back door"?

　　Interestingly, Horton, who openly accused others of "counterfeiting" in public, was able to come to Gwangju, and the reasons behind it were also somewhat speechless. According to Australian media reports, Horton did not qualify for the previous World Championships in Australia.

　　After the men’s 400-meter race, the British Daily Mail also wrote that Horton’s move was "very rude" and revealed that he relied on "privilege" to participate in this World Championships. The reason is that Horton’s head coach has discretion.

　　In the end, Horton also repaid the trust of the Australian Swimming Association with a silver medal, but what he did after the game puzzled the coach: "No one knew he would do this, it was his idea."

　　In sharp contrast, at the women’s 100m butterfly award ceremony on the evening of 22nd, Canadian player McNeil, Swedish star Sjostrom and Australian player mckeown put their palms to the camera, and their hands were written with the words "Chijiang Glazed Flower" and "Never Give Up" to cheer for Chijiang Glazed Flower suffering from leukemia, which also moved everyone.

　　The stadium is a stage for athletes to pursue "higher, faster and stronger", which is pure and full of warmth and emotion. Whether you are skeptical or resentful, please let sports return to their original heart when the starting gun goes off. (End)
