“做人不能太霍顿！”
近日，霍顿拒绝与孙杨合影 还鼓动季军也不要站上领奖台一事引发网友热议。今日的“霍顿”，热度依旧不减，频频上热搜。在受到国际泳联的警告后，甚至表示不服，将抗议泳联警告。
相比之下，其队友凯尔·查默斯（Kyle Chalmers）在比赛后，主动和孙杨握手，并表示“霍顿的行为是他自己的决定”（"It's Mack's decision to do that sort of stuff,"）。
而霍顿父亲也对此事发声，表示对中国非常尊敬，这样做只是想让体育保持干净。

相关背景
Mitchell James Larkin (born 9 July 1993) is an Australian competitive swimmer who specialises in backstroke events. He competed for Australia at the 2012 Summer Olympics and the 2016 Summer Olympics.
米奇·拉金是一位澳大利亚游泳运动员。他代表澳大利亚参加了2012年奥运会和2016年奥运。在2014年英联邦运动会上，他获得200米仰泳项目的金牌。
“I think 100 per cent of the Aussie athletes certainly back Mack up and I was saying before that while he was standing alone on the podium last night, he's not standing alone in spirit,” Larkin said.
“Ninety nine per cent of the athletes here support what he does.”
“We are all fighting for a clean sport and you have to trust that the performance that you do and the training that you do is enough to get you across the line.”
However it appears as though Chalmers might be in the one per cent.
After competing alongside Sun in the semi-finals of the 200m freestyle on Monday, Chalmers reached over the lane rope and shook the controversial Chinese star's hand.
“It's Mack's decision to do that sort of stuff," Chalmers said afterwards, according to Wide World of Sports.”
“At the end of the day, Sun is here, Sun is racing and we just have to do what we can to swim our best races.”
“I'm not worried about my competitors, I'm worried about my own race and learning how to swim the 200m.”
“Mack has done a few of those things now and he strongly believes in that, and that's totally fine.”
FINA takes action against Horton
Swimming Australia and Horton will receive an official warning letter from FINA, the governing body releasing a statement on Monday night condemning Horton's actions.
"The FINA executive met today in Gwangju to analyse the situation related with the men's 400m free victory ceremony and has decided to send a warning letter to Swimming Australia and to Mack Horton," the statement said.
国际泳联发表声明，表示国际泳联官员22日在韩国光州会面并分析了男子400米自由泳颁奖典礼出现的相关情况，决定向澳大利亚游泳有限公司及其运动员马克·霍顿发出警告信。
"While FINA respects the principle of freedom of speech, it has to be conducted in the right context. As in all major sports organisations, our athletes and their entourages are aware of their responsibilities to respect FINA regulations and not use FINA events to make personal statements or gestures."
“尽管国际泳联尊重言论自由，但这一原则需要在适当的背景下进行。和所有主要体育机构一样，我们的运动员以及其随行人员要明白他们有责任尊重国际泳联规定，不利用国际泳联的赛事发表个人声明或作出姿态。”
"The matter over which Mack Horton was allegedly protesting is currently under review by CAS and therefore it is not appropriate for FINA to prejudice this hearing by commenting further."
霍顿抗议的事情目前正在国际体育仲裁法庭的审理过程中，在听证会之前，国际泳联不对此事进行评论。
