Rugby league great Ian Roberts has slammed Olympic swimmer Stephanie Rice as a "complete idiot" after the sporting pin-up girl posted an anti-gay comment on her Twitter page.

DeadSpin points out :

Remarking after the Wallabies' two-point win over the Springboks in South Africa on Saturday night, Rice - who has left the Commonwealth Games team due to injury - tweeted: "Suck on that f—gots," adding: "Probably the best game I've ever seen!! Well done boys."

Rice later deleted that tweet and has apologized for using that slur.

I wonder if she tweeted from a phone with a keyboard or touch screen and if the "f" word was auto suggested... meaning she's typed it before...
