Adam Peaty has had a rough time of the Paris Olympics - despite still coming away with yet another medal - having already contracted Covid,and the swimmer has now shed light on the shocking state of the food on offer to the athletes.
Peaty was billed as one of Team GB's biggest medal hopes heading into Paris 2024,however only finished second in the 100m breaststroke event that he has been nigh on invincible in for years.
After missing out by two hundredths of a second he admitted in his post-race interview that he had been struggling with soreness in his throat,and lo and behold he tested positive for Covid the following day.
After shaking off the virus to an extent that he was able to compete in the men's 4x100m medley relay at the weekend,he was then dealt another blow with Team GB finishing fourth,and he is still thought to be on a a potent cocktail of antibiotics.
However,he has since lifted the lid on the allegedly shocking nature of catering in Paris,claiming that there were even 'worms in the fish'.

‘Mel (Marshall,Peaty’s long-standing coach) has got an incredible future ahead of her in Australia and the right talent will head her way. I don’t know what the answer is.’
He has however qualified those doubts over his future,admitting to the i that he would still leave the door open to LA 2028,and make a call in 'two years' time' over whether participation at another Games is 'achievable'.
