    Michael Muller is Hollywood’s premiere celebrity photographer — a guy who has created legendary images of everyone who is anyone for every prominent media outlet — from Vanity Fair to Esquire. The question isn’t who has he photographed, it’s who hasn’t he (including the iconic Time magazine cover of Kobe Bryant bowing).

    But Michael’s truest passion — and the primary focus of today’s exchange — is great white sharks. Documenting them on film. Understanding them. Educating others about them. And most importantly, preserving them.

    The high-profile appeal filed with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against Sun Yang and the International Swimming Federation (FINA) cost the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) more than $600,000 (£456,000/€500,000), it has been revealed.

    The figure is disclosed in WADA’s newly-published 2019 annual report.

    This shows that the body managed a small surplus in the year before COVID-19 struck, with income of just over $38 million (£28.9 million/€31.5 million), excluding financial income, all but matched by $37.8 million (£28.7 million/€31.4 million) of operating expenses.

    The case against the three-time Olympic swimming champion and Chinese sporting icon resulted in him being banned for eight years.

    His lawyers have since filed two appeals with the Swiss Federal Tribunal.
