Adam Peaty: 'If I can fight, I’ll fight - If I can’t, I’m not going to risk'

Adam Peaty says the Paris Olympics will be "very special" for him and suggests his rivals make the most of his absence from the World Championships.

Britain’s greatest swimmer misses the event which starts tomorrow [Fri] in Budapest having fractured a bone in his foot whilst training last month.

Without Peaty, champion in both 50m and 100m breaststroke at the last three Worlds, there will be a new winner for the first time since 2013.
