Wow. Hope for the best. Terrible situation. You wonder how one can be so mentally tough to compete at that level of a sport and then come crashing down.

This is sad. I met Ian Thorpe once when he was in Long Beach for a competition. He was swimming in the lane next to me at the LB Natatorium. He seemed to be a really nice guy.

The five-times Olympic champion reportedly contracted the bug after surgery at a hospital in Switzerland, where he now lives. Switzerland seems to be a popular place for Australian athletes to avoid taxes.

Poor guy.
BTW, idiot “journalists”, there is no such word as “disorientated”.
