BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary's three-times world champion Katinka Hosszu said on Tuesday she had "never taken performance-enhancing substances" following allegations by Canada's former Olympian Casey Barrett that her results were suspicious.

Barrett said in an article in a May issue of Swimming World magazine that Hosszu's performances, which dwarfed those of all other swimmers, were "incredible".
