Australian relay team to come clean on pranks

Australian swimming officials said six members of the men's 100m freestyle relay team from the London Olympics had come forward to confess about a controversial team bonding session ahead of the Games.

Swimming Australia said the six, who had talked themselves up as the self-described "Weapons of Mass Destruction" before an embarrassing flop in the pool that saw them walk away without a medal, would reveal all on Friday.

"Swimming Australia can confirm that the six members of the men's relay team have come forward to discuss their involvement in a team bonding session in Manchester prior to arriving in the Olympic Village," the governing body said in a statement on Thursday.
