What kind of punishment should Horton receive for not going on stage to accept the award?

As for the incident of Australian player Horton deliberately not standing with Sun Yang for a photo during the award ceremony, his unreasonable and unrestrained behavior also aroused heated discussion in China. FINA also issued a warning, and his disrespectful behavior was finally punished.

However, in fact, the so-called punishment for Horton is just a warning. FINA said: "We respect freedom of speech, but it must be done in an appropriate context, and athletes need to understand that they "We have the responsibility to respect FINA regulations." However, domestic netizens did not actually buy this warning letter because it did not involve any substantive punishment, it was just a verbal warning, and it felt like a naughty child had made a verbal mistake. It's just a training, Holden shouldn't have any scruples about this, his arrogant behavior may appear here in the future. But don’t worry, because the Swimming Federation finally stated that this matter is still in the process of being heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and the specific method of handling it has yet to be discussed.

I think first of all, we should not be too excited about this matter. Characters such as Holden are like clowns. The real king is China. We should treat this rude provocation as a joke. Well, in addition, this incident has brought FINA to the forefront of public opinion, so FINA should give everyone a more convincing response to this in the future.
