I was shocked by the treatment of gay people Rsia and need to say somethg – whout revealg anythg about myself. Even durg fevered gossip about a possible relatnship wh a fellow swimmer, the four-time Olympic medallist and BBC analyst Rebec Adlgton, durg the 2016 Olympics, when she was filmed squeezg his leg unr the table, an assumptn that he might be gay did not seem to matter to anyone but Foster and those clost to do matter, particularly sport, where n still feel terribly hard for people to e out. Foster is telligent and articulate, a man who also works as a mol and a motivatnal speaker, but he has stggled sce the age of 17 to voice out loud the simple fact he is gay.
