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.

Wearing only their Speedo swimsuits and a pair of running shoes, the Bobcats make an annual dash through the snow and sled down the berm at the football stadium on their kickboards. It’s a team tradition called the Polar Bear Run – and it is so c-c-cool.
