South African swimming star Chad le Clos has taken a salary cut to help struggling swimmers during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Le Clos confirmed that he and his swimming team Energy Standard have decided to take a voluntary 65 percent salary cut. Le Clos said: "At the moment, it's a difficult time for everyone financially but for me I'm okay... I'm not motivated by money, it doesn't drive me.
