Sun Yang appeal costs WADA more than $600,000
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.

Let’s Be More Mindful | Swimmer Strength
Mindfulness is a key component to fully enjoy the sport you competing in – arguably in life as well.
Our actions, thoughts, movements, and so much more tend to dictate how we feel and how well a swimmer develops.
Not all people practice mindfulness directly, but have some form of habits throughout a day or during practice that makes them mindful in one way or another.
I am encouraging you to be more mindful in your next workout – can you feel a new muscle you haven’t before? Are you feeling light, medium, or heavy in the water? Perhaps a mix of two.
Are you aware of you actions and how you treat others? Do you care how you want to be perceived?
What matters to you?
Why do your dreams matter?
