No apology : Fury in China after Australian calls swimmer a drug cheat
Australia has refused to apologize after an Olympic swimmer sparked outrage by accusing China's Sun Yang of being a "drug cheat." Speaking to the media after beating Sun by a mere. 16 of a second to win the 400m freestyle gold , Mack Horton described his win as one "for the good guys."
The Australian's comments sparked fury in China after an emotional Sun broke down in the post-race press conference, accusing Horton of deliberately trying to psych him out. A hashtag "Sun Yang Don't Cry" quickly went viral on the Chinese web, and Horton's Facebook, Twitter and Instagram posts were flooded with comments attacking him and demanding he apologize to Sun.
