Cameron McEvoy lamented the “ludicrous” situation that saw him go financially unrewarded for breaking the 50m freestyle world record, whereas a doped athlete can earn millions for doing so at the upcoming Enhanced Games.
Australian swimmer McEvoy admitted it was “the realisation of a childhood dream” to break Cesar Cielo’s world record that had stood for more than 16 years, which he did by clocking 20.88s at the China Open in Shenzhen on Friday.
