Američki plivač, Nejtan Adrijan je na svom Instagram profilu objavio da boluje od raka testisa.

Već viđeno - Apsolutna dominacija Novaka na ATP listi, ostali ni blizu!

Adrijan je osvajač pet zlatnih medalja na olimpijskim igrama a po njegovim rečima, bolest je otkrio u ranoj fazi. Amerikanac veruje da će se vratiti takmičenjima i da će uspeti da dođe do mesta na Olimpijskim igrama u Tokiju 2020. godine.

"Otrkili smo rak u ranoj fazi, počeo sam lečenjem i prognoza je dobra. U bazen ću se vratiti za nekoliko nedelja sa ciljem da odem u Tokio", napisao je Adrijan, koji je sa američkom štafetom osvojio četiri zlatne olimpijske medalje i jednu pojedinačnu u Londonu 2012. na 100m slobodno.

On u svojoj zbirci ima i jedno olimpijsko srebro, uključujući i štafetu i dve pojedinačne brozne, obe iz Rija 2016. godine.

"Život je, kao i trka na 100 m slobodno, težak i brz, tako da ne možete uvek videti ko je ili šta je iza vas", napisao je Adrijan.

Life, like swimming the 100 free, can come at you hard and fast as you can’t always see who, or what, may be chasing you down. Recently, I went to the doctor as something didn’t seem quite right. At the very least, I still needed to get my flu shot so it couldn’t hurt. After a few tests and visits with a specialist, I unfortunately learned that I have Testicular Cancer. On the bright side, we caught it early, I have already started treatment and the prognosis is good. I will be back in the water in a few short weeks with my sights fully set on Tokyo! Along the way, I hope to share my journey in an effort to help break the stigma of discussing men’s health issues. I’ve realized that too often we tend to avoid these important topics, ignore the potential warning signs, and put off getting the medical help that we may need. As I told my family, I’ll be putting my public health degree to work a little sooner than I planned! But in all seriousness, I am keeping a positive attitude as cases such as mine are curable. I am extremely grateful for my family and friends, especially my wife, for their love and support. I am scheduled for surgery early next week and will provide an update soon. #menshealth #testicularcancer #standuptocancer
