His complaints were ignored, and led to a major investigation into the incidents and ultimately to the disbandment of the IASA, and the creation of Swim Ireland.〔(Swim Ireland move to prevent early release )〕 Since his retirement from professional swimming, O'Toole has been a practising Orthopedic surgeon with a specialist interest in 'Cancer' and 'Sports Knee Surgery',〔(Gary O'Toole )〕 although he does provide expert analysis for RTÉ Sport's Olympic swimming coverage.〔(RTÉ's Olympic TV coverage )〕 He is married, to Sorcha.
