British swimmer Duncan Scott refused to share the 200m freestyle podium with Chinese swimmer Sun Yang in the second protest at the World Aquatics Championships against the controversial gold medallist.
Last night’s protest comes after Australian swimmer Mack Horton accused Sun of drug abuse on Sunday, a move Scott said many within elite swimming supported.
Governing body FINA has warned both Scott and Horton over the protest for inadequate behaviour, saying FINA events should not be used to make “personal statements”.
