Adam Peaty’s girlfriend Holly Ramsay shows off ‘gorgeous’ outfit as she reunites with Olympics star after Covid blow
If Adam Peaty had tested positive in Tokyo three years ago, it would have been the end of his Games and he would have been quarantined in an Olympic hospital before being sent home.
Things have changed a great deal since and there are no restrictions or special measures attached to positive tests at the Paris Games.
Team GB chiefs will adopt a “common sense” approach, with Peaty and those around him urged to adopt a sensible “hands and face” approach, using antiseptic cleansers.
But there is no need for Peaty to isolate or even to notify Games bosses - although the Team GB announcement will let the world know of his illness.
Peaty will be cleared to compete again as soon as he feels ready to perform, although it seems more likely that he would not take part in the qualifying rounds of either of the relay events he is due to participate in.
But with head of performance services Greg Rutter having worked overtime to minimise risk throughout the British squads at their various Paris bases, there are at this stage no concerns of a spread of the infection.
