Sun Yang Returns to Competition After Four-Year Doping Ban

The Chinese Olympic champion will compete in the National Summer Swimming Championships, marking his first major meet since the ban ended.

Sun Yang's four-year doping ban expired on May 28, allowing him to return to competition.
He will represent Zhejiang province in the 400 meters freestyle at the National Summer Swimming Championships in Hefei.
Sun was banned for a dope test violation in 2018, reduced from eight years on appeal.
The World Anti-Doping Agency confirmed 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for a banned substance before the Tokyo Games.
Chinese athletes with doping suspensions longer than a year are banned from national teams, limiting Sun's future prospects.
