I agree.

For all the pressure he is/was under he remained down to earth and seemed humble in victory. I'm not condoning what he did, but he seems like a pretty stand up guy.

And he probably did that to himself ten times worse than anyone else ever could. He learned a lesson well, but in the minds of some people, one screw-up, no matter how minor or how long ago, and you're forever a criminal/horrible role model.

No comment on present company, but I think their halos are fitting juuuuuuuuuuuuust a little too tightly.

JMHO.

No I have not. However, winning Gold medals doesn't make the facts disappear, just ignored by the media.

And a former Nazi designed the Saturn V rocket and helped us win the space race against the commies, Einstien possibly plagurized his theory of realativity, and Thomas Edison ripped off and or bought a lot of his great inventions.

The point being that no one is without faults.

Congrats to Mike Phelps. He is the Lance Armstrong of swimming.

I'm tired of hearing about the Olympics but thought you might enjoy the conspiracy stuff...

Through The Looking Glass: The Michael Phelps Gold Medal Conspiracy

Thirteen-time gold medalist swimmer Michael Phelps is such a big American hero and super-mega-champion, right? That's just what they want you to believe. In fact, his .01 second victory—the lowest margin of difference allowed in official swimming competitions—over Serbia's Milorad Cavic in the 100 meter butterfly yesterday was a giant scam! In fact, it was all part of an elaborate plot between Phelps, the U.S. government, NBC, and time-keeping overlord OMEGA! Don't believe the chlorinated hype!

0.01 OF A SECOND?

Yes, the underwater sensors of the official timekeeper of the event, the watchmaker Omega, have determined that Michael Phelps, has won this race by 0.01 of a second.

0.01 OF A SECOND?

Was this an ad for a watchmaker or what?

But the devil is indeed in the detail.

How is it that the official timekeeper of the event is the same company that sponsors Phelps since 2004? Isn't there a clear conflict of interest here? And why are leading FINA officials unashamedly and brazenly the biggest cheerleaders of Michael Phelps? We are not talking about NBC and other American-broadcasters who have clear interest in weaving the "narrative" in quest for the largest share of ratings, and for their economical ends, for purposes of appeasing to their advertisers who buy such overpriced ad slots.
