SYDNEY, Australia -- The manager of Olympic swimming great Ian Thorpe says the five-time gold medallist is in rehab after being found disoriented on a Sydney street early Monday morning by police responding to a call from residents. Tahir Whitehead Jersey . James Erskine told the Australian Associated Press that Thorpe was affected by a combination of antidepressants and the painkillers he was taking for a shoulder injury. Police spoke to Thorpe after residents near his parents home in Panania in Sydneys southwest reported a man allegedly breaking into a van. He was taken to Sydneys Bankstown Hospital for assessment and was later transferred to a rehab facility. "He is in rehab for depression," AAP quoted Erskine as saying. Erskine said Thorpe had thought he was sitting in his friends car. "The owner of the car basically called the police and the police came," he said. "They realized it was Ian Thorpe. They realized he was disoriented." Erskine said Thorpe, 31, had been taking antidepressants and medication for his shoulder but had not been drinking alcohol. "He hadnt had a drink," he said. "He had zero alcohol in him." Police said no official complaint has been made and no further police action is anticipated. Thorpe, who is currently living in Switzerland, has been staying with his parents over Christmas. Erskines admission that Thorpe is in rehab comes only days after Thorpes management company denied reports he checked into a rehab facility while battling depression and alcohol abuse. News Corporation, quoting friends of Thorpe, said he had been injured in a fall at his parents home and was taken to hospital. Reports said Thorpe checked into a rehab facility, but later checked out and returned to his parents home. Thorpes management company, SEL, later issued a statement denying the reports. "Ian is not in rehab," a SEL representative said Friday. "Ian was in hospital for an operation on his shoulder and is pleased to let his friends and fans know that he is now out of hospital and on the mend." In his autobiography, published last year, Thorpe said "not even my family is aware that Ive spent a lot of my life battling what I can only describe as crippling depression." Thorpe, known to fans as Thorpedo, was a freestyle specialist and one of the greatest swimmers of his generation. He won three gold and two silver medals at the 2000 Sydney Olympics -- the most medals won by any individual competitor at those games -- and two more golds at the 2004 Athens Olympics. He also won 11 world championships gold medals, including six at the 2001 championships at Fukuoka, Japan. When he won his first world championships gold at the age of 14 in Perth in 1998, he was the youngest-ever individual male world champion. At various times Thorpe held 13 individual world records and shared five others in relay events. The 400m freestyle was his signature event which he dominated at Olympics and World championships over more than six years. Thorpe retired from swimming in November, 2006, but attempted a comeback in 2012. His attempt to win a place on the Australian team for the London Olympics was unsuccessful and his thoughts of competing at the 2013 World Championships or 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games were thwarted by a shoulder injury. Friends said he struggled to adjust to life after swimming. John Matuszak Jersey . The 10-year deal the league and players agreed to that ended the 2011 lockout gave either side the right to opt out after six years. With the league projecting financial growth, there has been speculation that players will take that option in three years, especially since a new national TV contract will be in place by then. Martavis Bryant Jersey . Both moves were announced Tuesday. The Titans had waived Matthews on Saturday when they promoted wide receiver Michael Preston from the practice squad. http://www.authenticraidersproshop.com/Raiders-Daryl-Worley-Draft-Jersey/ . Tony Parker had 33 points and nine assists and San Antonio never trailed in a resounding 116-92 victory over Portland, bullying the younger Trail Blazers in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals.Jason Day recovered from a slow start to defeat Graeme McDowell 3&2 in his WGC-Dell Match Play group opener, but appeared to injure his back late on in his victory. The world No 2 bounced back from being two holes down after four to see off the Northern Irishman, but had to head straight into the clubhouse for treatment on a strain incurred while hitting his tee shot at the 16th.McDowell had made a strong start after holing a five-footer at the third and being awarded the next hole after a wayward tee shot from Day, but the Australian responded by driving the par-four next and two-putting for birdie. Back-to-back wins at the eighth and ninth saw the PGA champion reach the turn one ahead, with Day doubling his advantage at the next when McDowells tee shot ended up in the hazard. Day looked in discomfort at the 16th Day moved three ahead at the 12th and maintained his lead with three consecutive pars, before looking in pain and clinging on to his lower back after his tee shot at the next.After climbing gingerly into a fairway bunker, Day found the green and two-putted from distance to post the par needed for the win.The Australian now sits top of group two alongside Thongchai Jaidee, who came from behind to post three birdies along the back nine to secure a 2&1 victory over Paul Casey.Day left the Austin Country Club in Texas without speaking to reporters. His agent later sent a statement that Day had tweaked his back, had some work done on it, was pleased with winning and was getting prepared to play on Thursday.Before getting treatment, Day told the Australian Associated Press: Its really hard to play with searing pain in both sides of your lower back.Just my back has seized upp and I need to get inside right away for treatment and see whats wrong.

I feel like I played maybe a little bit better than Rickie. Jason Dufner (left) got his week off to a winning start Im just happy to win the match.
