FINA executive director Cornel Marculescu says the governing body is dealing with another two positive drug tests beside Australian Shayna Jack's
FINA boss Cornel Marculescu has suggested Mack Horton's issue with Sun Yang is"probably more a personal issue than a doping issue".
Silver medallist Horton sparked a week of acrimony when he refused to share the podium with Sun after the Chinese star won the 400m freestyle gold medal, later getting an ovation from fellow swimmers at the athletes village. "The doping panel is a totally independent body. They decided, you've seen the decision and reasons," said Marculescu."Whatever CAS decides we need to accept."
He warned swimmers could be stripped of their medals for similar serious deviations from FINA regulations in the future as it was"part of the sanction".
