Die Macht » Washington Redskins tight end Fred D

Australias Mack Horton hopes to have inspired other athletes to speak out about drug cheats after triumphing over Chinas controversial Sun Yang to claim Olympic gold in the 400m freestyle.The 20-year-old did not back down on his strong stance against Yang, dismissing him as a drug cheat after describing his stunning gold-medal success as a win for the good guys.He clocked a personal best three minutes, 41.55 seconds to seal the stirring win ahead of defending champion Yang.Italys Gabriele Detti claimed bronze.Yang served a three-month ban for testing positive to a banned stimulant in 2014.Horton had no regrets about calling out Yang.I dont think it is a big statement because it is true, he has tested positive, he said.No athlete has really come forward and said it.It wouldnt have felt right if I raced against someone who had tested positive and didnt bring it up.Hopefully others will follow.Teammate Cate Campbell - part of Australias 4x100m womens relay team that claimed gold in a world record on Saturday - said it was too soon for her to speak out.There will be a time and a place for me to address that issue but its not right now, she said.Right now Im an Olympic gold medallist and part of a world record breaking relay team and now is not the time to be talking about drugs or other countries.Horton said he had been planned the attack on Yang after reading Swimming Australia president John Bertrands account of his famous 1983 Americas Cup yachting triumph which ended 132 years of US supremacy.It was something I thought of beforehand, he said.It was taking a leaf out of John Bertrands book ....(in 1983) he just referred to it (US) as the red boat.He kind of desensitised from it.Sun Yang is just the drug cheat.Horton tried to play down a personal rivalry with Yang but clearly there was no love lost.Definitely a win for the good guys, he told Channel Seven.Dont know if it was a rivalry between me and him, just me and an athlete who has tested positive I guess.Horton became the first Australian since Ian Thorpe (2004) to claim the Olympic 400m freestyle crown.Welcome to the Australian 400m Olympic Champion Club! Well done mate!! Thorpe tweeted.Australian head coach Jacco Verhaeren threw his weight behind Hortons bold stance against drug cheats.To be honest everyone thinks the same way, he said.As a swimming organisation we have zero tolerance to drugs.Its the same as saying we dont like drug cheats.He made a statement not in words but also performance which is fantastic.Verhaeren revealed Horton had predicted his 400m win.Before the race he felt confident otherwise you dont do that (call out Yang), he said.Sometimes athletes just know they are going to do something special.And Mack just said that to me he knew what he was going to do (in 400m final).
