Australia has been labelled as a country at the fringes of civilisation by a state-linked Chinese newspaper in the wake of the Mack Horton stoush with Sun Yang.The Global Times pointed to Australias convict past in an open editorial, also questioning Hortons relevance and ethics after he called out Yang as a drug cheat.Its not a big deal to us, the open-editorial piece read.In many serious essays written by Westerners, Australia is mentioned as a country at the fringes of civilisation.In some cases, they refer to the countrys early history as Britains offshore prison.This suggests that no one should be surprised at uncivilised acts emanating from the country.The paper also lashed out at the Australian media for carrying Hortons immoral disruption.We dont know if it is Horton who is silly or its the Australian media that is evil, or perhaps Australia just has a different moral standard, it said.The message sent is abnormal and aberrant.Horton has gained the backing of the Australian Olympic Committee and team boss Kitty Chiller after he said he had no time or respect for drug cheats on beating Yang to the wall in the 400m freestyle final.Mack obviously has very strong views about the need for clean sport, as every single one of us does, she said.We have no intention of making an apology.The 20-year-old also claimed his victory as a win for the good guys, however it did little to please Chinese authorities or the countrys swim team manager, Xu Qi.We think his inappropriate words greatly hurt the feelings between Chinese and Australian swimmers, he said, according to Chinas party-controlled news agency, Xinhua.It is proof of a lack of good manners and upbringing. We strongly demand an apology from this swimmer.Sun copped a three-month ban for testing positive to trimetazidine, a substance normally used to treat angina, in 2014 - however his ban was not announced by Chinese authorities until after it had ended.The swimmer claimed he was unaware it was on the banned list, and argued it had been prescribed to him to treat heart palpitations.

Nadal dropped only seven points on serve and broke the 15th-seeded Wawrinka three times on 11 opportunities. The Spaniard captured his 40th career clay title, matching Thomas Muster for the second-most in the Open Era, and joined Roger Federer as the only other three-time Madrid champ. He added to his triumphs in 2005 and 2010. Nadal appeared in his seventh final in as many events this year since recovering from a left knee injury that sidelined him for seventh months, improving to 5-2. He claimed his 55th career singles title and a 23rd ATP Masters 1000 crown, extending his own record.dddddddddddd Wawrinka was under pressure from the get-go, falling behind 0-40 in the opening game. He battled back to deuce, but Nadal converted his sixth break point to jump in front. Nadal closed out the first set with an ace in a love hold. Wawrinka, who was riding a nine-match winning streak that included a title run last week in Portugal, forced a deuce in the fourth game of the second set before Nadal held. The Swiss then fought off three break points to go up 3-2. After another hold at love, Nadal earned a critical break for a 4-3 lead when Wawrinka double faulted. The match ended when Wawrinka sent a forehand long. Nadal has won all 19 sets played in the nine all-time meetings with Wawrinka. Despite the loss, Wawrinka will still return to the Top 10 of the world rankings for the first time since Oct. 6, 2008. ' ' '
