Thorpie retired in 2006 (at 24, after a 10-year pro career *g*) because he was no longer motivated to compete. Now he's just a good sort about the place, started a philanthropic society and everything. Thorpe is so great. *sighs wistfully* I miss him, but I'm sorta glad he retired while he was still BEST EVER and Michael Phelps never got to beat him at the Olympics, heh heh heh.
