Tests conducted after this year’s Olympic trails found the 22-year-old from Edinburgh , who won bronze in the men’s 50m breaststroke at the 2019 World Junior Swimming Championships in Hungary and has represented Scotland at the Commonwealth Games , has three large oligodendrogliomas – a rare form of diffuse and progressive brain cancer – which are inoperable.
