Ryan Lochte unfazed by Tokyo Olympics postponement

The Hindu  

US Swimmer Ryan Lochte’s Olympic window may be closing, but the 35-year-old says he’s ready to push on another year after the 2020 Tokyo Games were postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. “I was a little pissed off because I’ve been training my butt off and I’ve been feeling great,” the 12-time Olympic medalist told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday. “It’s way bigger than the Olympians, it’s affecting the entire world right now.” Lochte won the first of his six Olympic gold medals as a relay swimmer in Athens. He received a further 14-month ban by the US Anti-Doping Agency for taking a banned intravenous infusion of vitamins in May of 2018 -- returning last year to launch his latest Olympic bid after undergoing treatment for alcohol abuse and starting a family with his wife, Kayla.
