Dont forget Phelps is an american. I hope you understand

Looking at it from the other angle, it might be God-given talent.

Chambers? Nawa. The guy is not even American. Dwain Chambers is a Brit? Cheats will eventually be caught. I doubt Phelps is a cheat. He would have been caught after '04 (where he also dominated) if that was the case. I agree the Marion Jones fiasco was embarrassing for US athletics, but to judge the whole US by the few cheats is unfair.
Re: Beijing 2008 Olympics - Athletics by somze(f): 7:44am On Aug 15, 2008
The guy has done it again and in world record time . . . again.

Michael Phelps wins his 6th gold medal in China.

I think the guys at NASA should test his blood for strange substances. grin

Too many Americans have deceived us in Athletics, I hope he's not one of them. It's just too easy for him. His blood should be stored till we have a better technology to prove he's cheating, but until then . . . The guy is phenomenal.
