The most decorated athlete in Olympic history is coming out of retirement. Legendary swimmer Michael Phelps packed it in after winning 22 Olympic medals including 18 gold.

The American will compete next week at a meet in Arizona for the first time since London 2012. Bob Bowman, his long-time coach, said that Phelps is entered in three events: the 50m and 100m freestyles and the 100m butterfly.

Phelps returned to training last autumn and re-entered the US drug-testing programme. He has completed his six-month waiting period by the US Anti-Doping Agency to be eligible for competition. He's still just 28 and is being tipped to compete at Rio 2016.
