Olympic gold medallists Roland Schoeman and Ryk Neethling have settled their differences with Swimming South Africa (SSA) after the controversial stand-off between the swimmers and the SSA executive during the Athens Olympic Games in August. The spat arose after Schoeman and Neethling, who had just won the 4x100m freestyle gold medal with teammates Darian Townsend and Lyndon Ferns, criticised SSA for its lack of financial support for South Africa's elite swimmers.
