I am really surprised no one mentioned this a few months ago
but apparently the same French Paper that released the story about Floyd Landis testing positive released a story stating that in April 2006 Ian Thorpe tested positive for high levels of testosterone, etc. etc.
wow, I’m not even sure what to say about this yet…
This was beaten to death on CollegeSwimming when it came out, that’s probably why no one mentioned it. Thorpe’s legacy would of course to tarnished if this was true, but he was still clearly one of the best freestylers of a generation. If he cheated, take his medals. If not, he’s retired and who cares. Michael Phelps beat his ass anyway.
