Micah Richards has revealed X-rated details about life in the Olympic village at the 2012 London games.

A 24-year-old Richards was included in the Team GB men's football squad for the 2012 Olympic Games in London, along with the likes of Daniel Sturridge, Ryan Giggs, Aaron Ramsey and Craig Bellamy.

Team GB bowed out in the quarter-finals by losing on penalties to South Korea, but former Manchester City star Richards has joked that off the pitch he was 'on fire'.

Every four years the Olympic Games sees some of the fittest people on the planet live together in close quarters in the Olympic village.

Speaking on The Rest is Football podcast, Richards opened up on the sex-mad lifestyle of athletes in the Olympic village.

"It was the party of all parties. You got all the different athletes, all sorts of different specimens in there," the two-time Premier League winner said.

"Absolutely everything was there, we had McDonalds there, a Chinese, a big cafeteria with everything you want, it's free.

"It's what I imagine when you go to uni when you're in halls and sharing a room, I was with Daniel Sturridge.

"We were there for three nights, we went training, come back to the village, them three nights we were up to 4am.

"You have different campuses, Team GB in one block, Brazil, France, all these countries, and there's a massive big room full of condoms!

"It was like what, obviously promoting safe sex, and honest to god, I was on fire.

"I was on absolute fire, honestly. I was a little slimmer, a bit more ripped, bit more lean, it was summer time, walking around with my top off.

"There was multiple gold medals. one of the best times of my life, it was incredible."

Alan Shearer joked in response: "No wonder you lot got beat on penalties, you were absolutely knackered."

Athletes hooking up at Olympic villages is no secret, with London 2012 organisers providing 150,000 condoms for the 10,500 athletes that took part in the Games.

Back in 2021, Richards spoke to Jamie Carragher about life in the village on the Greatest Game podcast.

He said: "We were in the village, it was chaos. Just imagine the Olympic village with all these athletes, all this testosterone, and it's a free-for-all."

Carragher asked: "When you were in the village, did you get rid of that testosterone?" to which Richards replied: "Well, you wanted to!"
