Star Thorpe sent to rehab
SWIMMING great Ian Thorpe has been admitted to rehab for treatment of depression, his management confirmed yesterday.
The Australian five-time Olympic champion, 31, who made an unsuccessful comeback bid for the London 2012 Games, was found disoriented near his parents’ home in Sydney.
Thorpe’s manager James Erskine said the man dubbed “Thorpedo” had taken anti-depressants and medication for a shoulder injury but had not been drinking alcohol.
