The ban runs through Jan. 20, 2023, which makes the end date just a bit longer than the FINA ban of all Russian athletes through the end of 2022.<\/p>\n

\nAlmost one year ago, Michael Andrew was on the verge of producing an historic swim as he turned at the 150-meter mark of the 200 individual medley at the U.S. Olympic Trials. He was an astounding 1.21 seconds under Ryan Lochte\u2019s world-record pace. Andrew faded badly, his 29.96 freestyle split the slowest of all semifinalists. If he is to reach his potential, it won’t be at this year’s World Championships, as he skipped that event at Trials to focus on the 50 free.<\/p>\n
