Gawler

Eamon Sullivan is in hot water, according to today’s The Daily Telegraph. The Aussie swimming champion was caught hooning around the streets of Gawler, South Australia on a ride-on motorised scooter that he “borrowed” from a local pensioner, John Guppy.

Sullivan: Maybe I should drive the last length? Magnussen: facepalm!

It is further alleged that Sullivan wasn’t particularly good at it, because he is also said to have crashed into a nearby table and injured two people. This, despite the fact that local publican Adrian Armstrong claimed the party wasn’t intoxicated.

So what could explain the unfortunate turn of events?
