Canadian swimmer says she got drugged at world championships in Budapest

Canadian swimmer Mary-Sophie Harvey shared a rather disturbing post on Instagram on Wednesday. She said that she got drugged on the last night of the FINA Aquatic World Championships in Budapest.

“On the last night of the World Championships, I got drugged.”

In her instagram post, shared by swimswam.com, the swimmer wrote the following:

“On the last night of the World Championships, I got drugged. At the time I wasn’t aware of what got inside of me, I just remember waking up the next morning completely lost; with our team manager and doctor at my bedside. I remember celebrating my competition while also being reasonable and aware of my next objective, which is Commonwealth Games. But then, I don’t remember anything. there’s this four-to-six-hour window where I can’t recall a single thing. I’ve heard bits and pieces by people and I’ve experienced judgement too. The only thing I can say is this: I’ve never felt more ashamed.”

She had to go to the hospital

The next day, she was having dinner with her family, when she felt that something was not okay. “I ended up going to the hospital, where I was met with doctors & psychologists,” she continues. Although she had a rib sprain and a small concussion, she got lucky. According to her doctors, these kind of incidents happen quite often and it could have been worse.
