July last year, they were whinging about not being paid enough, despite getting more tax payer funding than any other sport. Today they stand as a deplorable rabble, wasting the opportunities handed to them on partying and prescription drugs. Instead this funding could of been used to teach children how to swim and get physically active, or put into other sports to assist their development. For shame, swimmming Australia.

As stated in the report there was no leadership and such which points the finger at the senior members of the team such as Trickett, Rice and company who seemed to be there on a Contiki trip rather than representing the country in a sport. Clean them out of the sport and things might improve.

Coaching structure seems to have broken down to - how was the head coach supposedly not aware of anything happening??? A complete mess!

Rice was balls deep in Kobe Bryant and most likely the rest of the Dreamteam to give a dman about her team mates. The arrogance amongst many of the swimmers is disgusting. I feel dorry for the others who tried theur heart out, tried to prepare as best they can but were undermined by these f*ckwits.

Sounds like they are just a bunch of flogs. James Magnassen probably cost himself a gold medal by being a fockwit - I'm sure he will enjoy living with that

 

[stralia]

Taking a stilnox and staying up til 10.30... Such animals.

 

[Miqar_Baqfhied]

Who knows what was involved in that initiation... Tax payers paid for them to be there, and they act like typical spoilt private school flamers. Hope they get reemed.

How much TV money does the IOC give the AOC?

 

[Spiritsof82]

Seen the guys do their media report so when do we get the females swimmers talking to the press about spending their time screwing the dream team?

 

[Daytripper]

Doorknocking and staying up to 10.30.

Oh, the humanity.

 

[ClokesShankedIt]

Should withdraw their taxpayer funding and throw it at mental health if they want to f$5k about. Same with any swimmer that rocks up looking like Porky Pig

"but she's a real woman!"

Some went for the dream team, some went for the burgers and chips

 

[Punchy Bassett]

The Australian Swimming team has always been a bunch of arrogant w***ers, while they were winning medals blind eyes were turned, now they didnt win anything it's a big deal.

I made a horrible mistake and posted a picture larger in size than intended ...... it made me notice the back fat

An olympic swimmer with back fat!

Shitcan the whole team

Trolling? Or just unknowingly being a completely ignorant twat?

F**k me this thread is the dictionary definition of Tall Poppy Syndrome.

Why would you believe thats all it was when these blokes have denied doing anything for months and their version of events and times are not matching the girls that have come forward. I watched the whole press conference live and found it hard to believe what Sullivan was saying and when pressed on some points by the media he got very defensive, very quickly. Imagine team members of an AFL side doing this in the week leading up to a Grand Final. It would not been blown off as just some young blokes having a laugh.

It looks to me as though he was pointing out the obvious.

Did his fat comment hit a nerve?

How have you drawn this conclusion?

If you think she's fat, then you have serious issues.

 

[Vincent Chase]

If you think she's fat, then you have serious issues.

For an olympic swimmer, she is/was overweight.

No. Just...no.

Pic must be shooped.

 

[peternorth]

just bad angles

Interesting retort. Ignorant of what precisely? This I'd like to hear.

My guess is that either you are a fat female or your wife has packed it on after getting married and you are touchy about it.

Let me repeat myself, in London Leisel Jones was fat. The sole reason for me caring about that is that I work hard and have a percentage of my wage taken from me and given to these f*ckwits to indulge in their hobbies. If Leisel Jones had any decency at all she would have rocked up to London in the proper condition so that taxpayer money wasn't wasted.

This is fat:

This is fat:

This is an Olympic athlete in the proper condition:

Given the amount of money spent on making their swimsuits "aerodynamic" (cbf finding the proper term) as possible I wonder if they calculated the drag generated by a gunt, bat-wings and a big arse?

Thanks for coming.

Two are photos taken from unflattering angles of a woman not aware of photos being taken at all. The other is carefully posed and choreographed. Also of the woman several years younger.

Let's compare them. That's sensible.

Did your wife tell you to write that?
