THE broadcast watchdog has found the Nine Network's A Current Affair broke rules on accuracy, privacy and complaints handling in a 2012 program on Olympic gold medallist Neil Brooks.
Nine's program accused Neil Brooks and his wife Linda of scams in Australia, the US and France.
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) said on Thursday the program aired on March 5, 2012, did not have enough evidence to support a claim that police in these three countries were investigating allegations of fraud against the former swimmer and his wife.
ACMA said Nine had also breached privacy provisions, but it did not say what they were.
It also said Nine had committed a technical breach of the complaints handling process by not providing a substantive response to a complaint from Mr Brooks.
The code says licensees don't have to respond to complaints that are the subject of legal proceedings and Brooks had issued a concerns notice under the defamation act.
But ACMA says the broadcaster should have provided a response because the court action had not commenced.
It said Nine had accepted its findings and would acknowledge that on its website.
"It has conducted training on its complaints-handling obligations," ACMA said in a statement on Thursday.
Mr Brooks won gold as part of the men's medley relay team at the 1980 Moscow Olympics and was a former high-profile presenter on the Seven Network.
He left Australia with his wife and daughter Brooke in 2010. He first lived in France before moving to the United Kingdom.
