AUSTRALIAN swimming great Grant Hackett has been dumped by a children's anti-violence charity after pictures were published of his trashed apartment following an alleged drunken rampage last year.
Hackett, who won the 1,500m freestyle at both the 2000 and 2004 Olympics and dominated the event for a decade, was ambassador for the Alannah and Madeline Foundation, which cares for children who have experienced violence. The move came after News Limited newspapers on Sunday published 15 photos police took after they were called to Hackett's Melbourne penthouse last October by his singer wife Candice Alley. They showed holes smashed in the walls, furniture overturned and a destroyed bedroom door.
