Olympic Games
He arrived in Beijing as a medal contender and a serious threat for the gold medal in all three of his events. He set Australian, Commonwealth and Oceanic records, capturing silver medals in the 200-metre breaststroke and 4×100-metre medley relay, and finished 5th in the 100-metre breaststroke.

200-metre breaststroke.
4×100-metre medley relay.
- (5th) 100-metre breaststroke.

Rickard's first World Championships were a good one, consistently capturing medals in all of his pet events. No Australian records were set, however his status in the world rankings leapfrogged.
- FINA World Championships 2007 in Melbourne, Australia:
200-metre breaststroke.
100-metre breaststroke.
4×100-metre medley relay.
In the final of the 100-metre breaststroke, Rickard won the gold medal and surpassed the old world record of 58.91 held by Kosuke Kitajima with a time of 58.58.[4]

Doping Allegations
In 2020, the IOC began proceedings in the Court of Arbitration of Sport to void Rickard's results from the 2012 London Olympics[5] after his urine samples from that competition tested positive for furosemide, a banned diuretic. If the IOC's findings are upheld, six Australian swimmers would be stripped of their bronze medal in the 4 × 100 m medley,[6] in which Rickard swam the breaststroke leg of the heat.
The proceedings were withdrawn on August 24th, 2021.[7]
