DESPITE quotes and reports in Chinese newspapers that he has been banned from coaching foreign swimmers, Denis Cotterell says those reports are untrue and that he is only taking a break from working with stars Sun Yang and Ye Shiwen.<\/p>\n<p>In an article published today by the Australian Free Press, Cotterell said the reports are &#8220;totally erroneous,&#8221; adding that while he believes Swimming Australia would prefer for him to focus only on Australian swimmers, no one is keeping him from working with foreigners.<\/p>\n<p>Reports in Chinese newspapers, particularly the Chinese Daily, indicate that <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/lane9\/news\/World\/32057.asp target=\"_blank\">Swimming Australia has placed a ban on foreign swimmers coming to Australia<\/a> to work with Cotterell, who is the head coach at the Miami Swimming Club on the Gold Coast in Queensland. The club is one of Swimming Australia&#039;s Centers of Excellence.<\/p>\n<p>Cotterell helped Sun and Ye each win two gold medals at the London Olympics, with each setting a jaw-dropping world record in the process. Ye set hers in the 400 individual medley, sparking rumors of doping as she <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/lane9\/news\/World\/31415.asp target=\"_blank\">split a 58.68 on the freestyle leg<\/a>, almost faster than Ryan Lochte&#039;s freestyle leg in his 400 IM. Ye would go on to also win the 200 IM.<\/p>\n<p>Sun won the 400 freestyle, nearly breaking Paul Biedermann&#039;s world record, then <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/lane9\/news\/World\/31586.asp target=\"_blank\">smashed his own world mark in the 1500 freestyle<\/a> on the meet&#039;s final night. He also tied for silver in the 200 freestyle with Tae Hwan Park and won a bronze medal in the 800 free relay.<\/p>\n<p>Sun and Ye do not train full time with Cotterell, jetting back and forth between China and Australia. Two of Cotterell&#039;s homegrown swimmers also enjoyed success in London. Thomas Fraser-Holmes participated in the championship final of the 400 IM and 200 free, as well as the 800 free relay. Jade Nielsen was a prelim swimmer for Australia in the 800 free relay, earning a silver medal for her efforts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/www.google.com\/hostednews\/afp\/article\/ALeqM5g8oQ84cTW0Vs_FTlsYcjomI3wmVQ?docId=CNG.f4d4fec426309741ec996fb87c31f219.d11 target=\"_blank\">Full text of AFP article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SYDNEY, Australia, September 26.
