By Staff on from huffingtonpost.com

Sorry, guys: Ian "The Thorpedo" Thorpe, Australia's most decorated Olympic medalist and a five-time medal winner in swimming at Sydney's 2000 Olympics, has written a memoir that addresses the gay rumors once and for all. According to Thorpe, he is definitely not gay, but has no problem with gay people: "I don't want to offend anyone that, you know, whether they're people [who] have friends that are gay or whatever else, I don't want to offend them by...getting angry about it, getting frustrated about it. The only part that I'm frustrated with is that people think that I'm lying."
