No chance for Grant Hackett to commentate Olympics for Seven, claim reports.

Swimmer Grant Hackett won’t be commentating for Seven’s Olympics, according to a report today.
According to the Australian Financial Review, “Word out of the Seven bunker is that there will be no seat on the plane to Rio for Grant.”
Hackett had been hopeful of a position with Seven’s Olympic commentators after he failed to make the Australian team in April.
But an incident on a flight from Adelaide to Melbourne, which saw him questioned by Australian Federal Police, was followed by an apology.
“I seriously and genuinely regret my poor behaviour,” he said in a statement.
“I have stuffed up more than once and am working on these issues.”
Media speculated the latest incident derailed a potential contract for him in Rio.

yep he has stuffed up too many times & imho doesn’t deserve a prime time tv role
I do feel for him but he has had plenty of chances.
No surprise,a few too many runs on the board, really needs to get his “stuff” sorted.
