The coach of Brazil's national swimming team says China's Olympic champion Sun Yang tried to elbow and kick a female swimmer at the world championships on Sunday and that he has also caused problems for other teams.
Alberto Pinto da Silva, in comments carried by Brazilian sports news website globoesporte.com, said the incident occurred when Larissa Oliveira was warming up alongside the Chinese swimmer in the pool.
。。。。Pinto da Silva said other coaches had came to him with similar complaints about Sun.
"The Canadian (coach) came over to me and said, 'he has already bothered my swimmers,'" Pinto said.
"The South African (coach) said he bothered the swimmers when they were swimming. Chile, Argentina, everyone came to tell me what do to. If he's doing that to everyone then he's a dangerous guy, he has no place in sport."
Chinese swimming officials could not be reached for comment.
