Swimming world record holder Cullen Jones says he hopes for a doping-free Olympics, speaking to Reuters on July 25, 2024 at the Piscine Molitor in Paris ahead of the 2024 Games. Two-time Olympic gold medalist and world record holder in 4x100m freestyle relay, Jones said they were optimistic about seeing clean swimming events at the Games. Jones could see his world record broken at the Paris Olympics with Speedo's new Fastskin 2.0 swimsuit. Since the swimsuit's launch in November 2023, 80 percent of all world records have been broken wearing Fastskin technology. The Fastskin suit will be worn by swimmers competing at Paris 2024, including seven-time Olympic gold medalist Caleb Dressel, five-time Olympic gold medalist Emma McKeon and three-time Olympic gold medalist Adam Peaty. The swimsuit was developed by Speedo's Aqualab, an all-female research and development team. It is engineered by Lamoral Space Tech to produce a lightweight suit with Speedo's lowest water absorption and most durable water repellence. Jones insist that the suit does not give an unfair advantage to athletes and stress that the athlete's preparations are the most important aspect of performance.
