Yeah, I think he'll lose money in sponsorship or advocacy deals, but I doubt he'll lose his career.
Everyone has to pay for their mistakes one way or another.
Besides, he's already the best. Maybe he's sick of swimming and might decide this is the time to try something new. Most other 23 year olds are trying out new things.
Anyway, one of our top ex swimmers has done something even dopier if you ask me.
Ian Thorpe has long been the subject of speculation as to his sexuality and recently, in an effort to confirm his hetro status (it would seem) he claimed to have had sex with some other swimmer...only thing was, he didn't tell her about this supposed affair and she's denying it.
Really, who cares if he's gay anyway?
