At the Paris 2024 Olympics, American swimmer Bobby Finke knocked Sun Yang out of the history books in an epic finish, after smashing his 1500m freestyle event record by 35 hundredths of a second.
In the space of a decade, Sun won three Olympic gold medals and became an eleven-time world champion, not to mention one of the world’s most controversial athletes.
The Olympics is no stranger to athlete misconduct scandals, with Sun the subject of a high-profile anti-doping case in 2018. World Aquatics, formerly known as FINA, cleared him of wrongdoing, but the World Anti-Doping Agency reopened the case.
Sun was barred from competing in the Paris Games after a panel of judges unanimously found him guilty of refusing to cooperate with anti-doping sample testers, handing him an eight-year ban in February 2020 that was later downgraded to four years and three months.
Sun has also had run-ins with other athletes, including Australian swimmer Mack Horton, who made global headlines after refusing to stand on a podium alongside Sun at the 2019 World Championships in South Korea.
Sun’s swimming ban recently ended, and he now says he hopes to return to competitive swimming as soon as possible.
Sun will be 36 years old when the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games comes around, so whether he can reclaim his record will have to wait until then.

Disgrace and shameful!
What more click bait,it only your opinion
This guy is a certified professional cheat who should never be allowed to compete competitively
China 🙄
BS video!
the title sounded so negative! he is a part of swimming history forever!!!
Westerners are able to win, only via banning their opponents. That's a fact, whether in sport, technology or trade.
How? When the testings were performed and doctored by western entities.
He’s a cheater from the beginning and will still be a cheater till the end what a scumbag.
because western are jealous, so they lie. story end
Cheaters should be banned for life
Jesus these Aussies 😂
The Purple Face Swim Team is always the best in the world!
Only US, AU and UK athletes are allowed to use drugs and be bullies. Any Chinese medalist that challenge the west will become a global disgrace and a target of massive controversy campaign! We can bet the US and his allies will be prepared and ban any Russian or Chinese champions to compete in the 2028 Olympics.
Americans and Aussies turn purple because they're sour grapes. Amazing how this video shows up so high when searching for purple face, as if the search results are rigged, too 😉
I guess US/AU applying some legal new drugs similar to EPO which can increase Hgo and carry more oxygen by blood. The side effects include purple face especially for women.
Wrong. Sun never doped, he had issues with pocedures of testing, otherwise his WR record would be cancelled long time ago.
Talk about America athletics association sending sickly Americans athletics to compete in the Olympics they doped to cure their asthma
Disgraceful
孙杨是被中国自己的内鬼害的。
The Chinese have definitely been the best cheaters in swimming since way back in 1984. Even the Russians are envious!
However he didn’t join the purple face navy force
😂😂😂😂
Who is the real disgrace
Obviously the world knows already
Thief crying "stop thief".
What did Finke breaking the record have anything with Sun getting himself banned? Poor headline.
of course this a setup and demonizing Sun
Very nasty and bias report intentionally to influence the public , to prejudice the public against the current China team. The report intentionally inserted prejudicial statement such ad the disgraced.
Bobby Finke is dope
He got to say that he has Asthma… Or that the water causes allergic purple faces, but only occurs on aussies /usa/uk swimmers… Lol😂

How about the Australian female swimmer who was tested positive for doping in Tokyo, not cleared by WADA and banned for two years and but quietly allowed to compete in Paris Olympics. In fact she won 2 gold medals?
sour 🍇🍇🍇🍇 with 😈👿
Communism made China a disgrace. Seeking power over heart.
Who is going to wipe Lochte from the history books?
What a disgrace, because of him now every time a Chinese swimmer won a medal everyone think they on drugs.
Sun made history as a doping swimmer. what a shame! A 1.4 billion population country sent someone to get medal with help of doping.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
1. US AU swimmer who didn't turn purple before, but turn purple now.
2. White people from EU doesn't turn purple, but white people from US AU turn purple.
3. Asian people from China doesn't turn purple, but asian people from US turn purple.
there was no proof sunyang used drug
Michael Phelps was tested positive and he claimed that he had asthma ….. many US swimmers claimed to have asthma that the Chinese swimmers call them the asthma team
Unbecoming of an athlete. Unbecoming of a man.
