Banned Olympic swimmer Shayna Jack has turned to GoFundMe to keep fighting a doping ban that has already ‘depleted life savings’ of $130,000.

The 22-year-old last week revealed she was struggling mentally and financially, even weighing up whether to concede her fight and retire.

Jack has now decided to keep at it, asking Australians – as you can watch in the video – to help fund her defense against an appeal that could see her ban returned to its original length of four years.
