LONDON (Reuters) - Swimming's governing body FINA needs to show more transparency and give 50 percent of its revenues to athletes, Britain's Olympic and world breastroke champion Adam Peaty said on Wednesday as he also warned that the sport had 'no integrity'.

Peaty, who holds the world record in 50 and 100 metres, was one of more than 30 Olympic and world champions to meet in London this week to discuss having more power and say in their sport amid growing frustrations with FINA.
