'It went further than the swim team' ... Liz Cambage on James Magnussen's behaviour. Source: News Limited
Basketballer Liz Cambage moved quickly to douse a fire she lit with a bizarre Twitter post questioning whether other female athletes at the London Olympics had been affected by the behaviour of swimmer James Magnussen.
Magnussen and most of his men's 100m freestyle relay teammates last week admitted to taking the banned sedative Stilnox during a bonding session at a pre-Olympics camp in Manchester.

He also owned up to a series of pranks which involved disturbing some of his female teammates on the same night.
There were no revelations as to anything untoward at the London Games, until Tuesday's intriguing post by Cambage.
"Have any other Olympic females athletes spoken out against Magnussen, because it went further than the swim team," Cambage wrote.
She followed up with another tweet: "And I'm talking about the Olympics not Manchester."

The initial post was quickly deleted, as Cambage then posted: "I deleted the tweet as I have nothing to say, it was a question! Media just went wild on it."
Some hours later, Cambage then tweeted: "I apologise if my comments have been misconstrued. In no way was my tweet meant to be an allegation against James magnussen."
Tuesday's offerings are not the first instance of Cambage causing a stir via Twitter, having questioned swimmer Stephanie Rice's friendship with US basketball star Kobe Bryant at the London Games.
Bryant and Rice caused a social media frenzy when spotted sitting side by side at the cycling at London 2012.
It prompted Cambage to tweet: "I love how Kobe has his wife with him at the Olympics, yet still surrounded by groupies."
All six men's freestyle relay swimmers in the London team - Magnussen, Eamon Sullivan, Tommaso D'Orsogna, Cameron McEvoy, Matthew Targett and James Roberts could be banned from future Olympics for using Stilnox, though Roberts has denied taking the sedative.
The Australian Olympic Committee had banned the sedative weeks before the Games.
The six swimmers are all set to face Swimming Australia's newly-created integrity panel.
