Did Australian swim team 2021 Japan Olympics use Viraleze

ChatGPT

Yes, members of the Australian swim team used a nasal spray called Viraleze during the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Viraleze, developed by Australian biotech company Starpharma, is designed to provide a barrier against viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

However, the use of Viraleze by the team sparked some controversy. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) were reportedly unaware of the team's use of the spray, and concerns were raised about whether its use complied with Olympic rules. Despite these concerns, there was no indication that the spray violated any anti-doping regulations.

The spray was used as an additional measure to protect athletes in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, alongside other protocols like vaccination, masking, and regular testing.
