Italian swimmer, Luca Marin, was in the middle of a high-profile love triangle during the 2008 Olympics. Marin, his former fiancé, Frenchwoman Laure Manaudou and his current girlfriend, Italian Federica Pelligrini are all swimmers competing in Beijing.
Not only are Marin's past and current girlfriends professional rivals but he is also accused of leaking photos of Laure Manaudou naked that were published within hours of his dramatic split with Manaudou in 2007. Marin has denied any involvement with the scandal.
