GWANGJU, South Korea (Reuters) - British bronze medallist Duncan Scott refused to shake hands with 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.
