I’ve heard some people mention illness but I never saw a source on that when I was making the video. My personal theory is that he either wasn’t able to get approved for a visa to remain in the US, or it’s a mental health issue which would explain the vagueness of it.
@@TheSwimScribe I think there are two issues: 1. him pulling out and 2. stating he won't swim in the US anymore. I thought he may be injured or he may feel he's simply not prepared properly (although I thought he'd still at least go). Possibly he won't swim in the US anymore b/c he kinda got jacked around by the NCAA for the academic thing? Thanks for the reply though.
