EINDHOVEN, Netherlands — A Serb swimmer could face disciplinary action for wearing a T-shirt proclaiming "Kosovo is Serbia" during the gold-medal ceremony at the European swimming championships.
Milorad Cavic, an American-born Serb, said Thursday he was just trying to send "positive energy" to the country he represents as he accepted his medal Wednesday night for winning the 50-metre butterfly in a European record time of 23.11 seconds.
European swimming's governing body LEN said in a statement that Cavic had been called to face a disciplinary hearing Thursday night.
"I'm afraid of the worst," Cavic told The Associated Press. "A suspension is the worst they can do to me. That is the death sentence."
