Complaint and investigation by Swimming Australia

In early December 2009 Thompson took personal leave following a claim of "inappropriate behaviour". Swimming Australia (SA) chief executive Kevin Neil said an "anonymous and unsubstantiated" claim of inappropriate behaviour had been brought to the national body's attention regarding Thompson, and that the allegation did not involve a claim of assault and was not a criminal matter.[9] An independent investigation found that "there was no evidence found to support the allegation of inappropriate behaviour made against Mr Thompson".[2][10]

Rugby league

Thompson, a long-time supporter of the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs rugby league club, was appointed general manager of its football operations on 15 April 2010.[11]
