Swimming Australia acting like a nanny to swim team

Posted by Ian on April 3, 2008 in in the news |

Seems that Swimming Australia has told members of the Australian swimming team for the Beijing Olympics to tone down some of their Facebook pages.

Swimming Australia media director Ian Hanson confirmed the organisation had taken the step in consultation with the Beijing-bound Dolphins team management.

“It’s something we had counselled them on in the past two years to be careful of,” he said.

“Some of the photos were somewhat distasteful and we thought it was best that they took a bit more care.”

Basically it seems they want us to see the likes of Stephanie Rice like this.
