In episode 200, Max chats with Australian Olympic Swimming Champion Shayna Jack! Shayna takes us through being atop the swimming world at 19, to the call accusing her wrongly of doping. Stripped of her identity, doubted by the system, and forced to fight for the truth she knew: that she was innocent. Shayna opens up on the day she got the call from Sports Integrity Australia, the relentless battle to prove the substance couldn’t have logically or physically entered her body, and the emotional toll of being branded a cheat — despite the facts. She shares the mindset that got her back to the top of the sporting world, the road to Paris, the bond with coach Dean Boxall, and the moment she stood on the Gold podium in Paris, having cleared her name and reclaimed her dream. We reflect on Paris, and finding a purpose to do it all again in LA in 2028. All this and much more in episode 200 of Sporting Max!
