adminSYDNEY. — Five-time Olympic swimming champion Ian Thorpe is being treated for depression after being found by Australian police behaving oddly near a car in Sydney.“The owner of the car basically called the police and the police came,” said the swimmer’s manager, James Erskine.
They realised it was Ian Thorpe. They realised he was disoriented.” Erskine said the 31-year-old swimming legend was taking anti-depressants and medication for a shoulder injury but was not under the influence of alcohol.
“He is in rehab for depression,” Erskine added in an interview with the Australian Associated Press. “He hadn’t had a drink. He had zero alcohol in him.” Police said no official complaint has been made and no further police action is anticipated. — BBC Sport.
