Osjećao sam da nešto nije u redu, nažalost, nakon posjete specijalistima, otkriven je rak u ranoj fazi, počeo sam liječenje i prognoza je dobra – napisao je Adrijan na Instagramu, a onda poručio da se brzo vraća u bazen.

Želi nastupiti na Olimpijskim igrama u Tokiju 2020. godine.

– Život je kao i trka na 100 metara slobodno, težak i brz tako da ne možete uvijek vidjeti ko je ili šta je iza vas. U bazen ću se vratiti za nekoliko sdemica s ciljem odlaska u Tokio – poručio je hrabri plivač, koji će na operaciju početkom iduće sedmice.

Life, like swimming the 100 free, can come at you hard and fast as you can’t always see who, or what, may be chasing you down. Recently, I went to the doctor as something didn’t seem quite right. At the very least, I still needed to get my flu shot so it couldn’t hurt. After a few tests and visits with a specialist, I unfortunately learned that I have Testicular Cancer. On the bright side, we caught it early, I have already started treatment and the prognosis is good. I will be back in the water in a few short weeks with my sights fully set on Tokyo! Along the way, I hope to share my journey in an effort to help break the stigma of discussing men’s health issues. I’ve realized that too often we tend to avoid these important topics, ignore the potential warning signs, and put off getting the medical help that we may need. As I told my family, I’ll be putting my public health degree to work a little sooner than I planned! But in all seriousness, I am keeping a positive attitude as cases such as mine are curable. I am extremely grateful for my family and friends, especially my wife, for their love and support. I am scheduled for surgery early next week and will provide an update soon. #menshealth #testicularcancer #standuptocancer

Adrijan je vlasnik pet olimpijskih zlata. Jedino pojedinačno osvojio je na OI u Londonu 2012. godine u trci na 100 metara slobodno.

Preostala četiri zlata osvojio je kao dio američke štafete. U svojoj bogatoj kolekciji ima i jedno olimpijsko srebro te dvije bronzane medalje.
