Olympic swimming champion Sun Yang was cheated out of 20,000 yuan last year by a woman who claimed to have fallen in love with him through the Internet, South Metropolis Daily reported.

The woman claimed to be from a wealthy family, and she borrowed money from Sun for a family emergency. However, she disappeared after Sun gave her the money, the report said.
