Swim champion Le Clos reveals both parents have cancer
(Reuters) – South Africa's big Olympic swimming hope Chad Le Clos has revealed that both his parents are battling cancer as he prepares for next month&039;s Rio Games. The 200 metres butterfly champion, whose father Bert became a media sensation at the London 2012 Games for his exuberant reaction to his son&039;s gold, said he hoped they would be accompanying him to Brazil. "My mum Geraldine has breast cancer which has returned since her remission in 2010," Le Clos, who beat American Michael Phelps to gold four years ago, said in a statement.
