New pro league looking to make a splash on two continents

LONDON - A new professional league launching this year will reward clean swimmers and see more of them make millions for their efforts, Britain's Olympic and world breaststroke champion Adam Peaty said on Thursday.

The International Swimming League (ISL), backed by Ukrainian energy businessman Konstantin Grigorishin, will feature eight teams from Europe and the United States, with matches on both sides of the Atlantic.

The final is scheduled for Las Vegas in December.
