Canadian swimmer Mary-Sophie Harvey, 22, said she was drugged at a party on the final day of world swimming competitions in Budapest, Hungary, which ended on the 3rd.

Harvey posted on his social media account photos of bruises on his body and a text in which he explains the situation. The International Swimming Federation (FINA) has opened an investigation into the incident.

In the publication, the swimmer says that she woke up the morning after the party “completely lost”, without remembering the last six hours, and accompanied by the doctor and the leader of the Canadian team. “I heard from people fragments of what happened and I was also judged. The only thing I can say is that I have never been so ashamed.”

“Some of my friends later told me they had to carry me while I was unconscious,” the athlete wrote, saying she had sprained ribs and a minor concussion, according to doctors who took care of her.

“Unfortunately, this is happening more than we realize. There have been an increasing number of such cases in recent years. Anyone reading this, please be careful. I thought I was safe, that this would never happen to me, especially being surrounded by friends,” he wrote. The latest photo from the post brings news of cases similar to what happened to him.

In a statement sent to Reuters and AFP, Fina said she was “deeply concerned” for the well-being of the swimmer and said she was in contact with the Canadian Swimming Federation and the Hungarian organizing committee.

“An independent agent has been appointed, who is investigating. Fina will provide updated information in due course”, indicates the entity, which recalls having approved measures in 2021 to protect bathers.

In Budapest, Harvey won a bronze medal in the women’s 4x200m freestyle relay. She was also part of the Canadian team at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
