Swiss supreme court details anti-China bias of Sun judge

Hostile social media posts on Twitter by Court of Arbitration for Sport judge Franco Frattini persuaded the federal court he should not have presided over banning the Chinese swimmer.

“In his tweets, the arbitrator castigates a Chinese practice of dog slaughter and denounces the consumption of this meat at a local festival in China,” the Swiss court said in a statement. “Some expressions refer to the skin colour of certain Chinese people he targets.” Previously, a tribunal appointed by swimming body FINA only warned Sun about his conduct during a home visit in 2018 by sample collection officials that became hostile.

“In principle, an arbitrator can also defend his convictions on social networks, but with the restraint required of judges,” the federal court said. “The choice of words and the repeated use of violent expressions is problematic in the specific case.”
