Phelps denies comeback plans

OLYMPIC swimming great Michael Phelps has thrown cold water on a report that he would come out of retirement with a view to swimming at the 2016 Rio Games.

"Why do I keep getting texts about coming back?" Phelps said on Twitter after a Florida television station reported he planned to return to the pool. Peter Busch of an NBC station in Fort Myers, Florida, reported on Friday that Phelps "had a change of heart" and would be training for the 2016 Games. Busch's father, Frank Busch, is the director of the US national swim team.
