Chad le Clos just can't find love

When your name is Chad le Clos and you're pretty much the best swimmer in the world right now, you would think that finding a girlfriend would be the least of your problems, right?

But according to Rapport love is exactly what's wrong with Chad.

Chad told the newspaper that despite his success in the pool, he can't win anything with the ladies because they are too intimidated by his fame. "Whenever I go out with a girl for a meal, I'm recognised and I hear 'that's Chad's girl' before anyone even approaches for a picture", he says.

He adds that such behaviour disturbs him and is a major reason he hasn't been able to hold a relationship down.

Still, at 22 and on top of the world, does he really have to bother with the stress of relationships? He says he's too focused on swimming to worry about it too much right now, but whenever he gets lonely in a foreign hotel he just gets some love from a bag of his favourite treats: chocolate whispers or chuckles.

That's right, Chad, there's no love better than a love of chocolate!
