French swimmer Agnel admits doping – on Nutella
Olympic 200m freestyle and 4x100m relay champion Yannick Agnel on Friday attributed his two new records to a chocolate hazelnut spread as he took the French national short-course championships by storm. Asked to sign drug test papers just as he got out of the pool on Friday after lowering the European 800m freestyle best by just over two seconds to 7min 29.17sec, he said:

The slump is over, thank you France
It has been a quiet couple of months now since the Olympics, with visiting numbers waning and swimmers and bloggers and swim sites alike seemingly struggling like me with finding the energy again. But then Nice shakes it up, two ‘unbeatable’ world records gone in two days, energy back and numbers also. More days in Angers ahead, and then the Europeans in Chartres and the Worlds in Istanbul. And maybe more important: Hope is back, that maybe those ‘supersuits’ weren’t that important after all. Merci beaucoup – here is a nice little song that Walk off the Earth released yesterday, coincidentally in French :-)
