• Sun shouted ‘you’re a loser’ at Duncan Scott after being shunned
• ‘Should he be in sport when people are booing him,’ says Peaty
Adam Peaty has backed the decision by British bronze medallist Duncan Scott to snub Sun Yang on the podium on Tuesday after the controversial Chinese swimmer’s victory in the 200 metres freestyle at the world championships in Gwangju.
Sun, who is swimming under a cloud in Gwangju with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) set to hear a doping case against him in September, was handed the win when Lithuanian Danas Rapsys was disqualified for a false start.
