The World Anti-Doping Agency said that it had been informed of the decision, but the full statement of reasoning has not been released.<\/p>\n<p>According to the\u00a0<em>New York Times<\/em>, the decision was made not based on the case\u2019s merits, but due to the fact that the chairman of the CAS panel, Italian\u00a0<strong>Franco Frattini<\/strong>\u00a0made public comments that were anti-Chinese. Because the CAS decision has been overturned, Sun will become eligible to compete until his case is again heard. WADA will have to present its case again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>WADA released this statement:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has been informed of the decision of the Swiss Federal Tribunal to uphold the revision application filed by Chinese swimmer Sun Yang and to set aside the 20 February 2020 award of a Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) Panel. The case is in relation to WADA\u2019s successful appeal against the original F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale de Natation (FINA) disciplinary panel decision following an incident that led to a doping control involving Sun Yang not being completed as planned. The Swiss Federal Tribunal\u2019s decision upholds a challenge against the Chair of the CAS Panel and makes no comment on the substance of this case. In the CAS award, WADA clearly prevailed on the substance of the case as it was able to show that there were a number of aspects of the original FINA decision that were incorrect under the World Anti-Doping Code and the related International Standard for Testing and Investigations. WADA will take steps to present its case robustly again when the matter returns to the CAS Panel, which will be chaired by a different president.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>#2: Swimming Canada Releases Preliminary Top 30 Lists For Olympic Trials<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_385044\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-385044\" data-attachment-id=\"385044\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/texas-cal-to-clash-in-minnesota-invite-in-biggest-invitational-of-the-year-nine-races-you-will-not-want-to-miss\/maggie-macneil-canada-2019-fina-world-championships\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/maggie-macneil-canada-2019-fina-world-championships.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1002\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"maggie-macneil-canada-2019-fina-world-championships\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;5-20-21&lt;br \/&gt;\nmaggie-macneil-canada-2019-fina-world-championships&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Becca Wyant&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/maggie-macneil-canada-2019-fina-world-championships-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/maggie-macneil-canada-2019-fina-world-championships-1024x684.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-385044\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/maggie-macneil-canada-2019-fina-world-championships-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"maggie-macneil-\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-385044\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Becca Wyant<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-canada-releases-preliminary-top-30-lists-for-canadian-olympic-trials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>By Matthew De George<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swimming Canada on Wednesday\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimming.ca\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Invitation-Ranking-List-TOP-30.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">released the preliminary lists<\/a>\u00a0of 30 swimmers for possible invitations to next April\u2019s Canadian Olympic Trials in Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>The lists released Wednesday rank the top 30 Canadian swimmers in each Olympic event, as of Dec. 18.
