Sydney Morning Herald: Ian Thorpe and his biographer are “their own worst enema.” New biography out on the Olympic swimmer that the swimmer has said he hasn’t bothered to read claims Thorpe isn’t gay based on a quote he gave the biographer about a trip to Italy: “The girls have got the biggest heels, and they scoot around on their Vespas honking their horns and yelling abuse at people. When they get really upset they take their helmets off before they start screaming, and they look absolutely perfect. Then they just walk off, very dignified. I like their style.” Biographer: This is a lad who likes girls and fashion. And drama apparently.
