Don't forget the story of Nick D'Arcy. Never heard of him? I'm not surprised. He's an Australian swimmer and holder of the Australian 200m Butterfly record.

Don't forget the story of Nick D'Arcy. Never heard of him? I'm not surprised. He's an Australian swimmer and holder of the Australian 200m Butterfly record. He was supposed to take it to Michael Phelps at the 2008 Olympics, where he had a realistic chance of winning Gold or Silver. Unfortunately for him, he got drunk at the party celebrating his inclusion in the 2008 Olympic squad. He took offense with another (retired gold medallist) swimmer at the party and punched him, shattering his jaw and skull. D'Arcy was charged with Assualt, and convicted, receiving a suspended jail sentence. He was stripped of his place in the 2008 Olympics and 2009 World Championships and is unlikely to make it to the 2012 London Olympics based on poor form and a lingering failed drug test outcome. All because he got drunk and decided to hit someone, probably 5-10 years of preparation and work down the drain, a promising career and future financial success all destroyed. No sporting company will touch him for endorsements, even if he does succeed again. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_DArcy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_DArcy
