STEPHANIE Rice seems to have shed some light on the cause of her crippling shoulder injury, yesterday admitting she had a stripper pole installed in her home.

The revelation didn't come via Twitter, the Olympic swimmer's main method of communication, but through an interview with Triple M.

"I did do some classes and I made one of my family members buy me the pole because I was, like, well this can be cross-training exercise," Rice told the radio station.

"But I don't have it any more."

The triple gold-medallist said her future in the pool was uncertain, but she was trying to enjoy herself after her Olympics preparation, which included a four-month booze ban.

Rice said she would have to come up with a new outfit if she did go to the 2016 Games: "I'm gonna have to think of something new - it was the police outfit in '08, the bikini in 2012 ... "
