GWANGJU, South Korea (Reuters) - Mack Horton has received a warning from swimming's world governing body FINA over his refusal to share a podium with China's Sun Yang in protest of the gold medallist's doping history.
Sun, who had served a doping ban in 2014 and was labelled a "drug cheat" by Horton before the Rio Olympics final, was given the green light to compete in Gwangju after being cleared by a FINA panel of breaching the governing body's rules earlier this year.
