Olympic Federation Disappointed by Shane Ryan's Decision
The Olympic Federation of Ireland and Swim Ireland have expressed disappointment over Irish swimmer Shane Ryan's decision to join The Enhanced Games.
The Enhanced Games is a controversial event that allows participants to use performance-enhancing drugs and does not follow the rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency.
We are very disappointed to hear about Shane Ryan’s decision. Although he recently announced his retirement from competitive swimming, the area he is moving into stands in direct opposition to our core clean sport values – values that underpin the Olympic Movement, Irish sport, and the World Anti-Doping Code, values that we all have a duty to uphold.
Swim Ireland has reaffirmed its commitment to promoting clean competition, stating its goal to elevate Ireland's world ranking through dedication, innovation, and adherence to the highest standards.
