And I couldn't bring myself to watch it because as an athlete, when you do know you're playing by the rules and you're checking your supplements and you're checking to make sure strictly that you're not doing anything...

And then there's structural doping through other nations or individuals find ways to get through tests.

It's a wind up, you know, it's a complete slap in the face to people that are trying to do it by the book.

For me, training has been going the best it's ever been, right?

I'm more confident that I'll do PBs in both races that I'm competing in than I've ever been before.

In terms of my chances, right, in the 50 fly, I'm going against the ex-world champion, Ben Proud, the current world record holder, Andrei Govorov.

Is my competition tough?

Yeah, it's just as tough here as it would be on an Olympic stage.

Am I an underdog and willing to go in and race these boys?

Yeah, for sure.

I've got a lane, so I've got a chance.

Thank you.

I appreciate you guys having me on.
