I don't want to say what I've been taking so people use it in a similar way when they haven't done the...

the the testing for it and made sure it's it's safe for their physiology the negative stigma that this organization gets is that oh they're just doing loads of steroids they're just doing drugs they're just doing all this it's like if that were the case i wouldn't feel comfortable doing it and i'm not promoting people going behind the scenes without doctors doing steroids and stuff like this right that's not what we do at all it's everything is

extremely tested.

Everything is measured to the T. Everything is prescribed based on your biomarkers, blood work, everything.

It's completely our choice.

It's completely our choice of, I would like to do part of this, or I'd like to do less of this, or why am I doing this?

Then from that, there is extensive check-ins.

I just had a check-in this morning.

To be honest, obviously, we're

five days from the competition now.

I can say that it's deviated from that at all.

I feel the best I've ever felt in my life and I felt safe doing it.

For me, it was getting back into swimming, right?

Getting back into something that I loved.

And you spend the best part of 15 years, maybe more, of honing a skill that's pretty specific, right?

And I can't go into the corporate world and start teaching people how to swim butterfly, you know?

So if someone gives you an opportunity, you know what?

You're going to be supported for once and in every way and see what's the most potential you can get out of yourself in this sport.

That was the biggest draw to me, right?

Off the bat.
