I am linking a story about Ian Thorpe. He said he was ready to quit because of all the crap that he takes being who he is. He is training here to get away from all the BS he said he puts up with in Australia. I guess the press is really hounding the guy. He says he is going to tighten his belt and ignore what people are saying about him and try to have the best meet of his career in 2008. It will be interesting to see what he does at the World Championships in Melbourne in 2007.

"Pictures of him eating a burger and drinking coke were splashed across the front page of one of Australia's leading newspapers. "
How terrible! :rolleyes:
I imagine Ian bought a house in LA primarily because he likes it there, not really to get away from the press. I really hope he can keep his head in the game until 2008. What an amazing swimmer!
