'It went further than the swim team': Cambage - Sydney Morning Herald

The message from Liz Cambage on Twitter, which was later deleted.

LONDON Olympian Elizabeth Cambage posted an intriguing message on Twitter on Tuesday, questioning whether the antics of disgraced swimmer James Magnussen had impacted on other female athletes during the London Olympics.

Cambage, an Opals basketballer, wrote: "Have any other Olympic females athletes spoken out against Magnussen, because it went further than the swim team".

She then added: "And I'm talking about the Olympics not Manchester".

However, the outspoken Cambage, while having lunch in Sydney, deleted the tweet soon after.

"I deleted the tweet as I have nothing to say, it was a question! Media just went wild on it."

Magnussen and the men's 100m freestyle relay team, also featuring Eamon Sullivan, Matt Targett, Cameron McEvoy and Tommaso D'Orsogna, have admitted to a Stilnox initiation at a pre-Olympic camp in Manchester and of disturbing fellow female teammates on that same night.

Magnussen and his relay teammates could soon face punishment when they appear before swimming's integrity panel.

Magnussen has said he regrets the incident. It was his first time using the medication.

The man known as the "Missile" said Stilnox had been used in "a lot of swim teams in the past". He said the men's relay team had been hoping to bond and did not intend to harm other swimmers.

Silver medal-winning backstroker Emily Seebohm revealed last week she was the swimmer who complained to head coach Leigh Nugent about misbehaviour in the London camp.

Seebohm went public after Nugent initially said he was not aware of any misbehaviour.
