It’s the spectacular rise and fall of Olympian Scott Miller. In the 90s he was the Golden Boy of swimming, but with success came women and drugs. Now, he breaks his 13 year silence as he tries to rebuild his life.
Ten years ago, Stevens’ milestone moment to qualify for the Athens Games became a sideshow when the great Ian Thorpe inexplicably tumbled into the water like a winged albatross and was disqualified from the 400m freestyle event at the trials.
Stevens finished second to Grant Hackett – in a personal best time – but the pressure mounted for him to relinquish his place to Thorpe. The issue dominated the media for a month.
“Is it really that long? Ten years? I hadn’t even thought of that.”
The body of the swimmer that went missing on Thursday morning near Boynton Beach Inlet has been found and identified, says Teri Barbera, spokeswoman for The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
The body of Billy Jeudi, 23, was found floating in the Intracoastal Waterway along the 7000 block of Dixie Highway and Hypoluxo Road. No foul play is suspected, said Barbera.
Jeudi was reported missing by a female caller at 5:00 a.m. on Thursday. The caller said they had been swimming when she turned back to shore, she lost sight of him.
