by

Cycling: At the current Tour of Hainan (2nd HC) there was an incident between the Chinese racing driver Wang Xin (Team Keyi LOOK) and the staff of the Swiss national team.

After Xin fell in a climb by the Swiss national team's support vehicle on Friday's stage, the athlete immediately responded by throwing a bottle at the car. Immediately after crossing the finish line, Wang Xin attacked members of the Swiss team and first threw one person to the ground and kicked them. The athlete then grabbed a pump from the trunk of a car and approached another team member before police and spectators intervened. The organizers of the Hainan Tour disqualified the athlete. His team has now officially apologized in a press release.
