Naked Pictures of French Swimmer Laure Manaudou Leaked on the Internet

Laure Manaudou is in the news today as the French swimmer has found herself in several compromising positions. Her ex-boyfriend, Italian swimmer Luca Marin, has been accused of posting nude photos and a video of Manaudou on the internet.

The two were seen fighting at the European short course championship in Hungary this past weekend.

He has denied that he was the one who leaked the nude photos and told an Italian newspaper, Gazzetta dello Sport:

“I know nothing about the video and have only seen the photos. Yes, it looks like it’s really her but it is ridiculous to think it was me who put them there.”

Manaudou also won the silver medal in the women’s 800 m freestyle and a bronze in the women’s 100 m backstroke while at Athens as well.

During the 2005 World Aquatics Championship in Montreal, Canada, Manaudou won the women’s 400 m freestyle.
