NO one could accuse Stephanie Rice of being afraid of change.
Not only has the Olympic swimmer been through four managers in six months, but rumours persist that the latest in a string of high- profile men she has been dating since splitting with Eamon Sullivan is swimming’s bad boy, Nick D’Arcy, The Sunday Telegraph reports.
She’s also been romantically linked to US swimmer Michael Phelps, rugby league’s David “Wolfman” Williams and long-time training partner Brendan Capell.
Rice and D’Arcy have trained at Queensland’s St Peters Weston Swimming Club since they were young teens, but speculation over the status of their relationship started when the pair attended a friend’s 21st birthday recently.
