After shaking off the virus to an extent that he was able to compete in the men's 4x100m medley relay at the weekend,he was then dealt another blow with Team GB finishing fourth,and he is still thought to be on a a potent cocktail of antibiotics.
However,he has since lifted the lid on the allegedly shocking nature of catering in Paris,claiming that there were even 'worms in the fish'.
