Read The Australian

Five weeks after being admitted to rehab, swimming legend Ian Thorpe is still under specialist treatment as he battles depression.

Australia’s greatest Olympian remains in a private Sydney hospital with no indication when he will be allowed out.

Thorpe has also undergone a second shoulder operation in recent weeks after problems were discovered with the original surgery.

Thorpe’s family, closest friends and his agent James Erskine remain tight-lipped about the swimming legend’s progress.
