'I'm not afraid of people knowing my opinions.' — _king_lil 👏
meant to be scanned for substances. He had previously served a doping suspension in 2014.
"I'm not afraid of people knowing my opinions," Lilly said frankly."If they say, 'Do you like this person who's competing?' And they've been doping and they've been banned . . . then I'm going to tell you, 'Nope, not real happy about that.'" That brash honesty is just who she is; applying it to doping has, for better or for worse, become something of her brand."I'm the person to have to speak out about doping, which is fine.
It is frustrating, Lilly concedes, to finish a race and not be asked a single question about herself or her own abilities"because everything is surrounded by doping." Half-jokingly, she added,"I had to get disqualified this Summer to answer questions about myself." At the same time, she relishes the hype that surrounds her races, whether she's swimming for Team USA or as a pro in the newly formed International Swim League, where she competes for the Cali Condors. Between her outspokenness and the rivalry it spawned, Lilly said,"I feel like I kind of made that pressure and that hype happen." It adds up to bad news for the competitors chasing her down the pool, because this is precisely the kind of tense environment in which Lilly thrives.
