Australian rower Joshua Booth trains at Eton Dorney before the London 2012 Olympic Games July 25, 2012.
The London Olympics didn’t go so well for Australian rower Joshua Booth. Shortly after failing to medal in the men’s eight rowing event, he was arrested for allegedly damaging a storefront while intoxicated. At the police station, he fainted and hit his head, sending him to the hospital. His coach was none too pleased with the 3:30 a.m. call alerting him of the situation. “”We understand there was alcohol involved,” Nick Green, chef of mission for Australia’s Olympic Committe, told reporters. “Again, I don’t know all the details.” In the end, no charges were filed, although the police investigation is apparently ongoing.
