Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty has pulled out of a two-day training clinic in Orlando, Florida, following an ongoing family feud and reported threats of violence. The 30-year-old was scheduled to fly to the US this weekend for the event organised by his company, AP Race, which provides clinics to athletes globally. However, sources close to Peaty confirmed he will remain in the UK.
Peaty returned from his stag do in Hungary on Sunday to be met by police after receiving threatening messages. A source told The Sun: 'With everything going on Adam is going to remain in the UK. His team will still be delivering a first class clinic.' The AP Race website still lists Peaty as attending the Florida clinic on 15 and 16 November, as well as a later event in Canada.
The withdrawal comes amid a family rift involving Peaty's mother, Caroline, who has reportedly been banned from his December wedding to Holly Ramsay. Tensions escalated after Caroline was allegedly not invited to Holly's hen party. Caroline's sister posted on Instagram accusing Holly of being 'divisive and hurtful', leading to the couple excluding Caroline from the wedding.
Caroline expressed her distress on Instagram, writing: 'Crying is a way your eyes speak when your mouth can't explain how broken your heart is.' She was seen publicly for the first time since the drama, with an onlooker noting she 'didn't look happy'. A source close to Peaty and Ramsay said the issues run deeper than the hen night, stating: 'Things escalated over the weekend when someone became increasingly abusive and threatening over text. Adam was trying to enjoy his stag do and was getting freaked out by it all.'
