Early morning, February 3rd, Ian Thorpe, the Australian Olympic swimmer, was found trying to break into a van. In the article “Olympic champion Ian Thorpe in rehab after being detained by police” by The Associated Press (published February 3rd, 2014), it is learnt that this famous swimmer was under the influence of antidepressants and painkillers. This led him to be disoriented enough to believe that he was trying to get into his friend’s van.
