The Australian world champion swimmer James Magnussen should be banned from sport for life if he deliberately dopes in an attempt to win $1m by trying to break a world record, the World Aquatics chief executive, Brent Nowicki, has said.
The 6ft 7in Magnussen, who won three world titles as well as a 100m freestyle silver at the London 2012 Olympics, has promised to “juice to the gills” when he comes out of retirement for the Enhanced Games next year – and reckons he can break the 50m freestyle world record in six months.
