You can’t buy class. You either have it or you don’t.
Australian Olympic gold medallist swimmer Matt Horton shows he has it in spades.
China’s top swimmer Sun Yang has now been officially found to be a drug cheat and handed an eight–year ban by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, effectively ending his career.
The World Anti–Doping Agency has welcomed the ruling as a ‘significant’ result.
Yet, it’s Horton who is now receiving more death threats and being trolled on social media, just like he was following his podium protest against Sun Yang at the FINA Swimming World Championships in South Korea.
Horton isn’t after the last laugh.
