McEvoy: Breaking World Record Earns Me $0 vs Doping Bonuses

McEvoy clocked 20.88s at the China Open, shaving 0.03s off Cesar Cielo’s 16-year-old mark. However, the lack of a World Aquatics sanction meant the clean athlete earned $0, compared to $10,000 for breaking a record at a World Cup meet. The swimmer lamented the "ludicrous" situation where athletes doping at the May Enhanced Games could earn millions, including a $1m bonus for records, highlighting the unfair financial disparity between clean and doped competition.
