i dont understand why people blame him for us hearing too much about him...he's just swimming! it's the news who reports about him so if you hate hearing about him so much, don't watch the news or change the channel. it's that simple! give credit where credit is due and he deserves credit for doing something no one has done before. how many people can say they won 8 gold medals and set 8 world records in 1 olympic game?! i am now done venting.
f**k man, did you see some of the finishes he had? The race where he won by the 0.01 seconds? The one where Jason Lezak basically made the greatest comeback in relay history to give him the gold?
He is a tool. Being from baltimore and having actually seen him around town a couple times, he rolls like a wannabe late 90's gangsta rappa'. Total tool, total douche. He's all about "Don't u know who i am?!".
What does he have to prove? Nothing at all - he is already considered the best swimmer of the Planet Earth - leave him alone - let him find his place in this world

As he shouldn't. Do the ones he knows he can win, that way you still go out on top.

The drugs probably can't past the latest dope tests.

I'm pretty sure I didn't say anything about his ability nor mine in my comment, well done for completely missing the point
