Joseph Schooling admitted that he has paid the price for his post-Olympic hangover after his dream of a World Championships gold medal was sunk at the Danube Arena.

He finished in 50.83 seconds, behind American Caeleb Dressel (49.86 sec) and Hungary’s Kristof Milak (50.62) and in a tie with Britain’s James Guy.
