Thompson said: “The groin muscle ripped right off the bone. It is no secret that Cardiff were trying to sell me and it has pretty much put that on hold until January. The manager hit the roof.” Ouch! So if all swimmers off the US coast would keep an eye open for Steven Thompson’s groin muscle, I’m sure he’d appreciate it.
