Adam Peaty could still take part at the Paris Olympics despite Team GB confirming the 29-year-old will not take part in the mixed 4x100m medley relay heats on Friday morning.
The 29-year-old tested positive for coronavirus on Monday, less than 24 hours after he’d won silver in the 100m breaststroke.
Peaty has five medals to his name and fans are eager to see the swimming sensation back in action.
Team GB have confirmed he won’t be involved in the mixed medley relay heats today, despite the veteran posting images of himself in the pool on Thursday.

However, there’s still a possibility he’ll be able to play a part in the games this summer.
Missing the heats does not mean Peaty cannot come in for the final on Saturday evening, providing Team GB qualify.
Peaty could also compete in the men’s 4x100m medley relay, which is due to begin on Saturday.
The swimmer didn’t take part in the heats when Britain secured bronze at the World Championships in the mixed event earlier this year, though did come in for the final.
