Retired Irish Olympic swimmer Shane Ryan is set to compete in this year's 'Enhanced Games', where performance enhancing drugs are permitted.

The three-time Olympian last week announced he was stepping away from competitive swimming, saying he was looking forward to giving back to the sport by "mentoring the next generation and staying involved in the swimming community".
