"His silver medal was wonderful for him," said his mother Diane, who is also chairman of INAS swimming in England. "He understands what has just happened, we explained it to him and he's annoyed. He and his girlfriend train very hard in Bath; they've dedicated their lives to swimming. They're training very hard for the European championships but their aspirations are on hold now because it seems that they can't go. In England we've worked very hard to make sure that everything is above board. They should have taken Spain to task for this, not everybody."
