Peaty: It’s time for change

ADAM PEATY says swimming’s world governing body must change or his career could be cut short.

Olympic 100m breaststroke champion Peaty (right) has previously outlined his ambition to continue to the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

There are many considerations over the length of Peaty’s career but the state of the sport under FINA is high among them.

He said: “If the sport is the way it is now, it won’t be sustainable for me to continue to 2028.”

FINA is the governing body for all aquatics disciplines and has promised to “improve and modernise”, with an “innovative” competition to be introduced in 2019.

But Peaty said: “I’m not going to bash it until I’ve heard it but the athletes haven’t had any input.”
