Firstly , there's no way his bankruptcy trustee would stop him travelling to the Olympics and no way England would bar him from coming into the country.
Secondly , the media uproar over the photo of him and Monk posing for a silly photo is a joke.
The biggest clown is the guy quoted from Gun Control Australia, John Crook , (no - I've never heard of him before , either) who gets dragged out to say the guns they are holding are the same used in mass murders - like they would have known that?
He was also quoted as say "This is a new low for athletes"
If two young guys taking a silly picture that doesn't hurt anyone is the WORSE thing any athlete has ever done then it makes you wonder what he thinks about drug cheats , women bashers and worse.
Finally , they had the hide to headline the story with "Idiot swimmers"
The only idiots were the journalist who wrote it , the editor who decided to run it and the idiot from Gun Control Australia who contributed his inane comments.
Well said cktiger. There is only one extra thing I would like to add…....
His girlfriend is HOT!
How does such a d$%# of a bloke seem to have so many things go right for him? Was he overseas on a personal trip? If so how considering he is bankrupt? He smashed a guy in the face and ruined his career - if he paid for it by getting a loan and paying Cowley the money then well and good and let him compete.
But he didn't, he filed for bankruptcy and deflected his responsibility and for that he shouldn't be rewarded. But the photo itself is an absolute storm in a tea cup!
