ZURICH (Reuters) - Chinese swimmer Sun Yang did not get an impartial hearing when he was banned for eight years for doping offences as one of the judges had tweeted anti-Chinese messages concerning animal rights, Switzerland's highest court said on Friday.
The Federal Supreme Court said tweets by one of the arbitrators at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) had exhibited possible bias against Chinese people and their treatment of dogs.
