“Actually my body is in great physical condition,” Sun was quoted as saying in an interview with state owned Chinese online newspaperThe Paper.
The triple Olympic and 11-times world champion said that even if eventually he was not able to swim competitively,he would keep working within the sport,possibly as a coach for young athletes.
“Difficulties will only help me grow and make me stronger,” he said.
The judges found Sun “to have acted recklessly” when herefused to let anti-doping officials leave his home with a sample of his blood,the court said.
Sun denied wrongdoing and his original eight-year ban imposed last yearwas overturned on appeal to Switzerland’s supreme court,which ordered a fresh prosecution.
Federal judges ruled the first guilty verdict unsafe because the chairman of the three-judge panel at CAS showed anti-Chinese bias in social media comments.
The retrial was heard by three new judges by video over three days last month and fast-tracked ahead of the Tokyo Olympics opening on July 23.
