Sun podium snub
Peter Rutherford
GwangjuAdam Peaty has backed the decision
by the British bronze medallist Duncan
Scott to snub Sun Yang on the podium
yesterday after the controversial Chi-
nese swimmer’s victory in the 200 m
freestyle at the world championships
in Gwangju.
Sun, who is swimming in Gwangju
with the court of arbitration for sport
to hear a doping case against him in
September, was handed the win when
the Lithuanian Danas Rapsys was dis-
qualifi ed for a false start.
Scott congratulated the silver
medal list Katsuhiro Matsumotoathletes had a right to speak out. “I
think the most important thing as a
sportsperson is you have the right to
a voice and Duncan showed his voice
and so did the crowd,” he said.
The incident comes two days after
the Australian Mack Horton refused to
share the podium with Sun after the
400m. Sun, who served a doping ban
in 2014 and was labelled a “drug cheat”
by Horton before the Rio Olympics
fi nal, got the green light to compete
in Gwangju after being cleared by a
Fina panel of breaching the governing
body’s rules earlier this year.
However, the World Anti-Doping
Agency is seeking to overturn the
decision at Cas, leaving Sun’s career
hanging in the balance a year out from
the Tokyo Olympics.
Sun, who also won gold in the 200
in 2017, touched in a time of 1:44.93,
with Matsumoto 0.29 behind in second
and Malyutin and Scott taking bronze,
0.70 off Sun’s time.
“My victory was because of my hard
work. I continued to keep fi ghting. I
didn’t give up when I was in second
place,” said Sun. “I was the only one to
enter the 800 [heats] this morning, so
I was very tired. I just slept for an hour
and a half this afternoon.” ReutersSwimming Duncan Scott

SHUTTERSTOCKBriton said his teammate was
right to blank the Chinese
swimmer after his winof Japan and the Russian Martin
Malyutin, who fi nished in the same
time as the Briton, but blanked
Sun on the podium. The Chinese
swimmer reacted angrily, shouting
“ You’re a loser, I’m a winner” while
gesturing at Scott, who also refused
to take part in a group photo on the
podium and kept his distance from
Sun as they left the stage.
Scott declined to elaborate on
his actions to reporters but Peaty,
his teammate said Scott was “com-
pletely right” to take action , adding
that Sun should consider his place in
swimming.
“He should be asking himself now
should he really be in sport when the
people were booing him, but I know
how they are and I know how he is
so ...” Peaty, who has previously criti-
cised Sun and the decision to allow
him to compete in Gwangju with the

FootballHudson-Odoi t o commit future
to Chelsea with fi ve-year deal
Dominic Fifi eld
Callum Hudson-Odoi is set to sign
a new fi ve-year contract at Chelsea,
curtailing Bayern Munich’s protracted
pursuit of his services, and will join
Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mason
Mount in committing his long-term
future to the London club.
The teenager, who earned his fi rst
international caps in Gareth South-
gate’s senior squad earlier this year,
had been keen on a move to the Bun-
desliga club in January having grown
frustrated at a perceived lack of oppor-
tunities under Maurizio Sarri.
Chelsea had rejected a formal trans-
fer request and a series of bids from
Bayern but, with Hudson-Odoi having
subsequently forced his way into the
fi rst-team more regularly before rup-
turing his achilles tendon in April, the
club had been anxious to secure him
to new terms this summer.
The winger had entered the fi nal 12
months of his previous deal but, with
Frank Lampard appointed as head
coach, Eden Hazard sold and a transfer
ban potentially opening up a passage
to regular game-time, the 18-year-old
was more receptive to remaining at
the club through whose academy he
had graduated. A deal worth around
£100,000 a week has been agreed in
principle, with Chelsea now working
on signing off the legalities.
Lampard hopes to have the player
fi t early in the new season and has
already spoken glowingly about his
prospects. “I am not going to say things
that are pie in the sky but, with his tal-
ent, he can be central to this team and
to England,” said the head coach. “He
can show, right here at Chelsea, that
he is going to be a world-class player.
I truly believe that.”
Chelsea are expected to loan Dujon
Sterling to Queens Park Rangers, while
Jake Clarke-Salter is interesting Bir-
mingham City, Leeds and Swansea
City. Fikayo Tomori, who excelled
under Lampard at Derby last sea-
son, is likely to join a Premier League
side for the coming one to further his
own development. Matt Miazga has
returned to Reading while Lewis Baker
is to move to Fortuna Düsseldorf.
Meanwhile Lampard believes he
is getting his message across to Chel-
sea’s players following their 2-1 vic-
tory against Barcelona in a pre-season
friendly in Japan.
Chelsea’s record goalscorer said the
work his coaching staff and players
were putting in on the training ground
was beginning to pay dividends after
his summer arrival from Derby.
“It has been good on pitch and off
pitch,” Lampard said in Saitama, north
of Tokyo, yesterday. “Particularly
today I saw a lot of signs from the work
we have done, which is really good for
me. There is more work to do but it has
been a good trip.”
Chelsea were much improved
from their display against the Japa-
nese champions Kawasaki Frontale,
who beat them 1-0 on Friday, with the
striker Tammy Abraham and Ross Bar-
kley scoring.Newcastle break
transfer record
to sign Joelinton
Niall McVeigh
Newcastle United have announced the
signing of the Hoff enheim striker Joe-
linton for a club-record fee, believed
to be in the region of £40m.
“I’m really happy to be here,”
Joelinton told the club’s offi cial web-
site after signing a six-year deal. “I
know it’s a large investment that the
club has made in me and that comes
with a huge responsibility. I’m highly
motivated and hope to give back on
the pitch.”
The 22-year-old Brazilian has been
handed the No 9 shirt , leaving the Bun-
desliga club after four years – two of
those spent on loan at Rapid Vienna.
“The kid’s got an exciting time
ahead of him,” Steve Bruce, the New-
castle manager, said. “He’s a smash-
ing young player and we’re obviously
delighted to get him.
“It’s been going on for a little bit
now, so to get him is great for every-
body,” Bruce added. “He’s got every-
thing that a modern-day player wants.
He’s big, strong and athletic, and of
course he’s got age on his side too,
which is vitally important.
“He’s learned the history and
wanted [the No 9 shirt] ... in his eyes,
it was ‘Bring it on – it’s what I’m here
for.’ I’m sure he will be a big favourite
of the supporters. He’s got an incred-
ible work rate, he’s got a really good
humility about him and all the attrib-
utes a top striker needs.”
Joelinton is the fi rst arrival in a
turbulent summer in which the former
manager, Rafael Benítez, left. New-
castle have confi rmed that the fee is a
club record, exceeding the £21m paid
for Miguel Almirón in January.▲ Joelinton joins from Hoff enheim
