Scottish ace is set to team up with Peaty again in Paris over the next few weeks as the pair look to bring home more Olympic medals.
Duncan Scott believes nobody can truly understand what Adam Peaty has gone through after his Team GB mate opened up on the mental turmoil that saw him shut down from swimming last year.
The Englishman this week opened his heart on the pressure that saw him walk away from the sport for six months after reaching breaking point last March. Fighting his demons saw him turn to alcohol after a troublesome 2022 that brought a broken foot, a split from the mother of his son and a downturn in form in the pool.
The 27-year-old - himself looking to add to his tally including a defence of his 200m freestyle gold - said: “Peaty has performed far better than I have on the international stage at many different levels. Sixteen time European champion, back to back Olympic champion, the list goes on.
