The Tokyo Olympics were meant to be a comeback and final chance for Ryan Lochte, but their postponement requires some adjustments near the end of the swimmer’s career.

Lochte, 35, was preparing for his final run at the Games after a tumultuous past few years in which he served a suspension for an alcohol-fueled incident with police during the Rio Olympics, another suspension for receiving an IV fluid and spent time in rehab.

Despite the challenges in recent years, Loche told ESPN this week he's 100% in for a run to 2021.
