孙杨案仲裁报告全文公布

full report on Sun Yang case released

 

The 78-page Court of Arbitration for Sport's findings in the WADA case against Sun Yang and FINA which saw the Chinese star banned for eight years, have been released in full.

国际体育仲裁法庭（CAS）公布了世界反兴奋剂机构（WADA）诉孙杨和国际泳联（FINA）一案的仲裁结果全文。在这份报告长达78页的报告中，中国体育明星孙杨被判禁赛8年。

 

The CAS concluded that Sun had tampered with the doping control process during a test at his home in 2018. The three-time Olympic gold medallist is set to appeal his ban until February 2028 which if upheld, effectively ends his swimming career.

CAS裁决结果认为，孙杨2018年在其家中的一次药检中阻挠了反兴奋剂程序。这位三届奥运会金牌得主将对其被禁赛至2028年2月的裁决提出上诉，如果结果是维持原判，孙杨的游泳生涯实际上就结束了。

 

The full report has exposed more details of the case, highlighting the lengths Sun and his team went to in duping and dodging officials.

这份仲裁报告全文披露了案件的诸多细节，重点说明了孙杨及其团队在欺骗官方和抗检方面的作为。

 

"The actions of the athlete were wholly inappropriate. There was no justification, whether compelling or otherwise, for him to act as he did." the judges said in the report.

法官在报告中指出，孙杨的行为是完全不恰当的。无论是出于迫不得已还是其他原因，他的做法都没有任何正当理由。

新冠病毒两个主要亚型

two major subtypes of COVID-19

 

Chinese scientists have discovered the novel coronavirus has evolved into two major subtypes. Experts believe investigating the differences and features of these subtypes may help evaluate risks and formulate better treatment and prevention plans.

中国科学家发现新型冠状病毒已经演化出两个主要亚型。专家认为，研究这些亚型的差异和特征或有助于评估风险，制定更好的治疗和预防计划。

 

The two subtypes are named L and S. The L type is more aggressive and was prevalent in the early stages of the outbreak in Wuhan, Central China's Hubei province. But instances of the S type, which is older and less aggressive, have increased in frequency recently, thus possibly explaining the disease's slowing momentum in China.

这两个亚型分别被命名为L型和S型。L亚型更具侵略性，在武汉爆发疫情的早期阶段更为普遍。但近段时间，S亚型病例发生频率有所增加，S亚型更古老且传染性比较弱，这可能是新冠肺炎在中国发展势头放缓的原因。

 

The study, titled "On the Origin and Continuing Eolutionof SARS-CoV-2", was published on China's peer-reviewed journal, National Science Review, on Tuesday. The study was done by scientists from Peking University, Shanghai University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

以上研究来自中国同行评审期刊《国家科学评论》于3月3日发表的论文《关于SARS-CoV-2的起源和持续进化》。北京大学、上海大学和中国科学院的专家学者开展了这项研究。

 

However, the authors highlighted the fact the data examined in the study is very limited. How L type strains evolved from S type, as well as how these mutations would affect the transmission and pathogenesis of the virus, are still unknown.

然而，论文作者强调，研究中检测的数据非常有限。L亚型毒株如何从S亚型进化而来，这些突变如何影响病毒的传播和发病机制，目前仍不清楚。
