I suppose to get to the top of your sport, you have to be a bit arrogant to even try to do such things. Just from interviews I've seen with his mom (a school principal), I think she would smack him if he was being an asshole. :-D @Bree: I don’t know the guy personally, so I couldn’t tell you if that’s true or not – but from what I’ve seen, he’s not.

Phelps's physique is ideal for swimming. Long wingspan, long waist, double jointed knees and ankles (whatever that entails)...that's just a few! When did sporting achievement become less of a celebration of athleticism and more of a "tear everyone down who dares to become great"? It's sad, really. GO PHELPS! @Johnny – I know, right?

I've seen people calling him "Lurch" and accusing him of abusing HGH because of his physique. It's not his fault he was born with a body that just happens to be absolutely ideal for his sport. Get over yourselves people and just be happy, for frak's sake. I’ve noticed a lot of people throwing a lot of shit at Phelps for winning.
