“I work a lot harder than what it says on the scoreboard,” Ramsay-Peaty, who is married to Holly Ramsay, told the BBC after settling for bronze in the 100-metre breaststroke. “It hurts too much. I have got to approach training differently now because it hurts too much.”

In an interview with The Guardian published last Saturday, the three-time Olympic gold medallist was asked whether his very public family feud, which made tabloid headlines several times over the past year, had taken a toll on him.

“I wouldn’t say on me because I’ve got a thick skin. But I care about my wife, I care about my son [from his previous relationship]. I care about the relationships that people think I have with my son, and my own family, but that’s my private life,” Ramsay-Peaty said, going on to criticise tabloids for their coverage of his private life. “It’s pretty much the downfall of society when we’re exploiting people’s private lives to sell. Will it get better? Probably not. Will the truth come out one day? Absolutely.”

The 31-year-old, who was formerly known as Adam Peaty and debuted his new name at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, further went on to say that there may still be a chance for reconciliation with his estranged family if they “improve as people”.

“For me, as a Christian, there has to be forgiveness. It doesn’t mean you have to forget, but forgiveness takes time,” he said.
