When the media reports on doping scandals, they may associate athletes with their national identity(Laine, 2006). And (denham 2004) found that compared with other countries’ media, athlete countries are more likely to defend and ‘protect’ their own behavior.
During the 2016 Rio Olympics, media coverage became "reporting battle". The ‘drug cheating’ of two swimmers in the swimming world, Sun Yang of China and Mark Horton of Australia, became a hot spot of conflict. It started the day before the swimming competition. After the game, Horton told the media that Before the race, Sun splashed water at Horton during a practice to get his attention and to say ‘hello’, and he ignored because I did not have time to respond to ‘drug cheats’(ESPN.com, 2016;Li, Scott, Sharpe, Xu & Naraine, 2019). In the men's 400-meter freestyle final of the Rio Olympics, Australia's Horton defeated Sun Yang and won the gold medal. In an interview, he said: his victory is a ‘victory against good people’. Regarding the competition between himself and Sun Yang, he said that it was a competition between him and the ‘athlete tested positive’ (ESPN.com 2016) -a reference to his three- month 2014 suspension over banned heart medication.(skysports.com 2016,)
