Adam Peaty tests positive for Covid-19 a day after winning silver for Team GB in the 100m breaststroke.
Peaty missed out on a third consecutive gold medal by 0.02 seconds on Sunday and afterwards said he had been slightly unwell with “a little bit on my throat”.
Unlike the last Games in Tokyo, there are no strict protocols around the disease in Paris which could prevent him from competing. “As in any case of illness, the situation is being managed appropriately, with all usual precautions being taken to keep the wider delegation healthy,” the statement added.Peaty could compete in either the men's or mixed 4x100m medley relay competitions in Paris, and was part of the squad that won gold in the mixed event in Tokyo.
