Andrew, 22, the American record holder in the men’s 100-meter breaststroke who said he contracted COVID months ago, has been training with the U.S. Olympic swimming team in Hawaii and is expected to stay with the team in the Olympic Village in Tokyo.
Both Andrew and his mother have been quoted this year as saying he was not vaccinated and would not be, but he had not confirmed his status since making the Olympic team until he responded to a question from USA TODAY Sports during a USA Swimming media Zoom call Thursday night.
