<\/p>\nTeam GB swimming legend Adam Peaty needed stitches after a bust-up with team-mate Luke Greenbank over his ex-girlfriend, it's been claimed.<\/p>\n
Peaty, who is a three-time Olympic gold medallist and eight-time world champion, previously dated colleague Anna Hopkin – who herself won gold alongside him in the 4x100m mixed medley at Tokyo 2020.<\/p>\n
She's now two years into a relationship with Greenbank, who according to The Sun retaliated after Peaty had slapped him on the backside and made a cocky comment.<\/p>\n
The incident, which is said to have occurred at the Loughborough University British Swimming training camp last Friday (September 1), left Peaty with a bloodied face and requiring treatment.<\/p>\n
