Two members of the U.S. Olympic men’s swimming team have tested positive for COVID-19 in Paris, according to multiple reports.
David Johnston and Luke Whitlock are in isolation at a hotel outside the Olympic Village, SwimSwam.com reported.
A USA Swimming spokesperson declined to confirm the positive tests, according to Yahoo Sports.
Johnston was scheduled to swim the 1,500-meter free style this weekend and the 10K swim next week in the River Seine. Whitlock already is finished after finishing 15th in preliminary heats for the 800-meter freestyle.
British swimmer Adam Peaty, who won silver in the 100-meter breaststroke, and Australian swimmer Lani Pallister have also tested positive this week, per reports.
