Yang, who tested positive for banned substances in 2014 and is known as the "bad boy" of the swimming world, has clashed with other athletes, most notably Australian swimmer Mack Horton.
Horton told the media Sun had splashed him on purpose during training sessions. After he beat the Chinese athlete to the gold medal in the 400-meter freestyle, he said, “I just have a problem with athletes who tested positive and are still competing.”
