Ex-swim star Hackett hopes to save reputation

Reported by France 24 on Monday, 25 June 2012 (on June 25, 2012)

Australian swimming great Grant Hackett says he is working to salvage his reputation after trashing his apartment in an alcohol-fuelled rampage last year that saw his wife leave him.

Hackett, who won the 1,500m freestyle at both the 2000 and 2004 Olympics and dominated the event for a decade, had not spoken publicly since the incident in October last year, but broke his silence on Sunday.

"Is my reputation damaged forever after one mistake?" asked Hackett in an interview with Channel Nine, ahead of a stint as a commentator at the London Olympics.
