    In a new documentary, Michael Phelps comforts a young fan experiencing anxiety by opening up about his struggles with the illness, which affects tens of millions of adults living in the United States.

    The champion Olympic swimmer, 32, has become a prominent advocate for mental health over the years thanks to his candidness about his anxiety and depression, which caused him to have suicidal thoughts regardless of his record-breaking success.

  • Rio 2016 Olympic committee chief resigns after arrest

    Carlos Arthur Nuzman, head of Brazil’s Olympics committee, has decided to step away from the games’ governing body, according to a statement by the National Olympics Committee on Saturday.

    He was arrested last week for allegedly conspiring to rig the election of the city hosting the 2016 games.

    The decision to take leave was expressed in a letter to be shown to the members of COB, as the body is known, during an extraordinary general assembly slated to take place Oct. 11, the statement said.

    The move comes after Brazilian police arrested Nuzman on Thursday, accusing him of arranging more than $2 million in bribes to get the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to pick Rio de Janeiro as host of the 2016 games.

    Nuzman denied any wrongdoing and said his leave of absence will last the time necessary to prove his innocence.
