RIO DE JANEIRO -- Mack Horton called Chinese swimmer Sun Yang a drug cheat, and then went out and dethroned the defending Olympic champion in the 400-meter freestyle.Horton won his first Olympic gold medal with a time of 3 minutes, 41.55 seconds Saturday night before the Australian women capped the first night of swimming with a world-record victory in the 4x100 freestyle relay.Sun finished second.After the preliminaries, Horton was asked about a reported incident between him and Sun at the practice pool earlier in the week. The Aussie said Sun splashed me to say hello, and I didnt respond because I dont have time for drug cheats.In 2014, Sun served a three-month suspension for using a banned stimulant.The last 50 meters I was thinking about what I said and what would happen if he gets me here, said Horton, who beat Sun by just 13-hundredths of a second. I didnt have a choice but to beat him.Horton was asked by a Chinese reporter why he described Sun that way.I used the words drug cheat because he tested positive, the Aussie said. I just have a problem with athletes who have tested positive and are still competing.Horton celebrated his victory without even acknowledging Sun in the lane next to him. Sun made a move as though he wanted to congratulate Horton, but the winner looked the other way. They got out of the pool together but acted as if the other didnt exist.I dont think we need to care too much about what the Australian says, Sun said through a translator. Ive got a gold medal (from 2012) and my world ranking. I dont need to prove myself anymore.Still, Sun defended himself after the race.I am clean, he said. Ive done whatever it takes to prove Im a clean athlete.Horton and Sun finally gave each other a begrudging handshake on the medal stand, but that was about it.Sun described the last four years as being tough, in part because of mistakes hes made.In November 2013, he was caught driving without a license after an accident in China. At last years world championships in Russia, he was accused of an altercation with a female Brazilian swimmer in the warm-up pool and then he failed to show up for the 1,500 freestyle final.Ive learned, the 24-year-old Chinese swimmer said. I know now to face up to failure and have a broader perspective. Those are invaluable lessons to me. All those hard-learned lessons will guide me through the rest of my life. Being young, sometimes you can get a bit naughty. You dont have a lot of common sense.Daryl Williams Jersey .ca NHL Power Rankings for the second straight week, ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Colorado Avalanche. Andre Smith Jersey .

Matt Prior discusses the reasons why England seem to struggle to beat lesser sides at ICC World tournaments The execution of plans was off by a long way here, said Morgan, who was bowled first ball shouldering arms.If Afghanistan are going to beat us we need to under-perform and we let them in by under-performing with the bat, but I thought our bowling and fielding was very good.Its very important between now and Sri Lanka that we sit down as a group and emphasise what were trying to do, make sure we have the right plans and reinforce them.This was the wicket every single one of us was expecting. The Verdict team discuss England’s batting collapse in their World T20 It was simply a matter of not adapting.dddddddddddd Weve been practising similar things that we needed here but just didnt produce.Morgan might easily have been reflecting on another upset to rank alongside defeats by Holland, twice, and Ireland in ICC tournaments. Warne: England must bowl first England must chase totals to win World T20, says Warne That he was instead picking the bones from a narrow escape was largely down to Moeen and Willey, who plundered 57 runs in 5.3 overs to swing the momentum of the match.The pair also played their role with the ball, taking three of the first four Afghanistan wickets, and were well due a word of praise from their skipper. To get us up to 142 Ali and Willey played really well. It was a really important stand, said Morgan, who made a golden duck in the early malaise.The difference between chasing 120 and 140 is huge, and one of our strengths is that we bat right down the order. Where the rest of our batsmen struggled those two guys showed a great deal of application.Watch England take on Sri Lanka from 2pm this Saturday on Sky Sports 2.Also See:England survive scareScorecardHow it happenedCricket videos Cheap Jerseys [uLanka from 2pm this Saturday on Sky Sports 2.seys[/url] Wholesale Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
