"Un-Australian": Australia Swimming Coach Sacked For Supporting Another Team
Swimming Australia on Friday sacked a member of its Olympic coaching staff, saying he caused serious reputational damage by supporting a rival South Korean athlete racing against his countrymen.

Head coach Rohan Taylor said Palfrey's actions were "un-Australian", but the team did not sack him at the time because it would be too disruptive.
