"He'd been taking prescribed drugs, painkillers for his shoulder and he's also on prescription drugs for anti-depression... but it's obviously a mixture of it and that mixture made him disorientated because he was wandering around at 3 o'clock in the morning," he said.

He became disorientated and he tried to get into what he thought was a friend's car, but it wasn't his friend's car at all," Erskine said. "The police came; they were fantastic, they realised it was Ian Thorpe and they called an ambulance.

There was no alcohol involved, he hadn't been drinking or anything like that," he said. "The hospital then suggested -- or more than suggested, I think -- that he should go into rehab for depression and that's what's happened.
