Well, this is one way to knock Michael Phelps off the front page.

French swimmer Laure Manaudou may not be on pace to win eight gold medals at this year's Olympics, but she is on pace to win over the hearts and minds of those that love a good nude photo scandal.

The world class athlete - who finished a disappointing eighth in yesterday's 400-meter final - is doing her best impression of Amanda Beard nude in the pictures below. They were myseriously leaked this week, though ex-boyfriend Luca Marin denies being the source.

Laure Manaudou nude photos give a new meaning to the breast stroke.

Regarding the alluring shot above, Marin said: "I know nothing about the video and have only seen the photos. Yes, it looks like it’s really her, but it is ridiculous to think it was me who put them there."

Right. Because Ranae Shrider has proven that bitter exes never release incriminating photos or videos.
