AUSSIE swimmer Mack Horton has made it as a truly global star with Taiwanese Animators highlighting his infamous smack down of China’s Sun Yang with a hilarious video posted on YouTube.

In the video, a Kangaroo wearing glasses is seen standing on the top step of the podium and then punching a Chinese swimmer, with needles sticking into his back, off the medal dais.

Horton infamously branded China’s Sun Yang a “drug cheat” on the opening day of the Olympics, setting the tone for what was a volatile pool environment with clean athletes voicing their disgust at having to race against swimmers who’d tested positive to performance enhancing drugs.

Michael Phelps is also targeted for his marijuana smoking, but it is the drug use of Russian and Chinese athletes that sets the main tone for the satirical video.
