Jack can resume her swimming profession subsequent 12 months however will not be a part of the rescheduled Tokyo 2021 Video games.

“The anti-doping guidelines are removed from passable and might produce outcomes which might be removed from honest. In my case, I’ve confirmed that I’ve NOT ever cheated, nor used prohibited substances deliberately or knowingly,” she wrote on Instagram.

“I can’t change the foundations and the foundations will stay as they’re in the meanwhile. Due to this fact, I settle for this determination with a optimistic perspective and with gratitude that my profession as a swimmer will resume subsequent 12 months.

“I’ve by no means doubted myself for a minute all through this ordeal and I’ve by no means allowed my integrity to be compromised. I stroll a bit of taller tonight with the truth that this ordeal is lastly over. I’m returning to swimming – the game that I’ve cherished all my life and the game that I’ll cherish simply that little bit extra ongoing.”
