Five-time Olympic champion Ian Thorpe is in the hospital in Sydney after contracting two dangerous infections and is not going to swim competitively again, informed his agent.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Thorpe, 31, got the infections after undergoing a series of surgeries on his shoulder at a hospital near his Swiss hometown of Ronco sopra Ascona, reported Fox News.

Agent James Erskin told the Australian Associated Press that Thorpe is “quite sick” and is receiving treatment in an intensive care ward in Sydney.

"It’s serious, but it’s not life-threatening," Erskine said, denying reports the swimming great could lose use of his arm.

The infection contracted by Thorpe is similar in nature to the potentially deadly Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) superbug that has hit European hospitals, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

According to the Herald, Thorpe was found disoriented near his parents’ Sydney house in early 2014 after taking antidepressants and medication for a shoulder injury.
