【パリＡＦＰ＝時事】競泳女子カナダ代表のマリソフィー・ハービーが、第１９回世界水泳選手権の競技最終日に知らずに薬を盛られたと訴えたことを受け、国際水泳連盟（ＦＩＮＡ）は８日、調査を開始すると明らかにした。（写真は競泳女子カナダ代表のマリソフィー・ハービー。資料写真）
　ハンガリー・ブダペストで行われていた世界水泳の女子４×２００メートル自由形リレーで銅メダルを獲得した２２歳のハービーは、先月末の夜に薬を盛られたと、６日に自身のインスタグラムアカウントで告白した。
　その翌日、ハービーは「完全に自失状態」で目覚めたといい、体に「複数のあざ」があったことに加え、そばにはカナダ代表チームの監督と医療スタッフがいたと主張。前日の夜を「適度」に楽しんだ後、それ以降のことは何も思い出せないという。
　ハービーは体のあざが確認できる写真を投稿し、「何一つ思い出せない４時間から６時間の空白がある」とつづり、「恥ずかしい」と感じているとも付け加えた。また、肋骨（ろっこつ）の痛みと軽い脳振とうに悩まされていると明かし、「あの夜の空白の時間を考えると、今でも恐ろしい」と書き込んだ。
　ＦＩＮＡはＡＦＰに送ったプレスリリースで、同選手の「健康」状態について「深く憂慮している」と述べ、カナダ水泳連盟とハンガリーの大会組織委員会と連絡を取っていると補足した。【翻訳編集ＡＦＰＢＢＮｅｗｓ】

The International Swimming Federation (FINA) said Friday it will open an investigation after Canadian swimmer Mary-Sophie Harvey claimed she was drugged without her knowledge at the end of the last World Championships.
The 22-year-old Canadian said on her Instagram account on Wednesday that she was drugged on the last night of the competition, which took place in Budapest at the end of June.
In a press release sent to AFP, FINA said it was deeply concerned about the well-being of the swimmer, adding that it was in contact with the Canadian Federation and the Hungarian organising committee.
An independent agent has been appointed and is investigating. FINA will provide updated information in due course, said the federation which underlined that it had adopted measures in 2021 aimed at protecting swimmers.
Harvey claims to have woken up completely lost the day after the last evening of the Worlds with a dozen bruises on her body, alongside the manager and the doctor of the Canadian team.
She says she celebrated the end of the competition that night in a reasonable way and then cannot remember anything.
There is a four to six hour window where I can't recall a single thing, she wrote.
I've heard bits and pieces by people and I've experienced judgement too.
The swimmer, who posted photos of her injuries, added that she felt ashamed.
She also suffered a rib sprain and a mild concussion.
I'm still scared to think about the unknowns of that night, she wrote.
They told me it happens more often (than) we think and that I was lucky in a way.
At the Budapest Worlds, Harvey won a bronze medal with her teammates in the 4x200 metre relay.
