Yes, he's got all those medals and records. That doesn't make him the best. After last year's scandal, he should return all his medals for being a deceitful athlete. All the justifications that people can make about him has no sense. He didn't respect the sports at all. The investment (particularly in food) made on him should be done on starving people of any country in the world. Again, another disappointment when we try to turn celebrities into gods.

I actually hated this moron until he got busted with pot. The best swimmer in the world AND he poisons his lungs with dope smoke!? The dude should swim with weights tied to his feet to make it fair. And to all the Phelps apologists- this is one dummy. . .certainly one of the worst interviews a great Olympian can be. Still, those medals tell the story. Pass the Doritos, Mike. ..

god he is so hot

phenomenal!!!

I didn't know a thing about Michael Phelps until about a week ago when a friend of mine told me all about him.  Intrigued, I did a little reading.  He seems like a completely decent guy, not to mention an absolute machine in the water.  Very impressive.  I can't help but be excited for him when he wins!

Now more gold medals then any other.
