This is going to cost the swimmer a fortune in never-to-be-recovered income.....Not gonna cost him anything. He just won’t get freebies from sponsors.
You are 101% incorrect.
His corporate sponsors are heavy big-name companies...Speedo, Gillette, Gatorade, Ralph Lauren, Nissan and AT&T.
Speedo and Ralph Lauren have already dropped him.
It's estimated he could lose up to $10 million in lost sponsorship.
In addition, there are descending cash bonuses for Gold, Silver and Bronze medals in the thousands and thousands of dollars for all winning athletes. These bonuses can be revoked by the Olympic Committee on "morals" grounds, and at this moment in time and the way things are going, his bonuses will probably be revoked unless ongoing investigations prove otherwise.
Your statement that athletes only receive "freebies" from their sponsors is silly.
They get CASH, baby!
