Michael Phelps: Sought after by sports broadcasters for TV presenting role?
Reportedly, sports broadcasters are lining up to hire Michael Phelps.
Recently, the swimmer broke a record by becoming the most-decorated Olympian ever, with 19 medals including 15 golds.
TMZ claims that, a number of networks are now hoping to sign him up for their Olympics 2016 coverage.
A source at NBC Sports, which has the rights to the Olympics through to 2020, said that the broadcaster "would definitely hire Michael", saying: "The man is smoking hot right now."
In the meantime, an ABC insider alleged: "If he would, we would gladly scoop him up to work for us."
The genius swimmer has claimed that he is planning to retire after London 2012, meaning that he would be available to broadcasters if he chose to move into the television industry.
