Keller, who stood out from the crowd with his two meters in height, was also identified thanks to the official jacket of the United States Olympic team, with a large “USA” logo on the back. The former athlete is accused of trespassing, violent conduct, disturbing public order and hindering the police.
Keller won five Olympic medals: two golds and one silver in the 4X200 freestyle relay and two bronzes in the 400 freestyle, one of which obtained in 2000 ahead of the Italian Emiliano Brembilla by just one cent. After his retirement, the former swimmer suffered from depression.
