Michael Phelps is cheating.

Do you think that with all the money he is going to make from the Wheaties Box's, he can afford a decent Blue Tooth set up? Get rid of those headphones Michael. That's so 90's.

I've heard those size 14 feet comes with web toes.

Oh man, I think you're on to something here. Look at this: United States of America!

I, O, D!

Who does Michael Phelps swim for? YOU GUESSED IT!

The real sticking point in this conspiracy is if he likes apples. If he likes apples, we could definitely tie him to Apple and iPod, thus tying him to a mega new world order conspiracy of Steve Jobs.....if thats his REAL NAME!!!!!!

The nerve of these people!

But hey, they are very tricky. They found a way to bring about a one world government from an Olympic swimming pool, all using an mp3 device...

OH LOOK AT THAT! MP3! MICHAEL PHELPS!

Maybe there's 3 of him!

We're in trouble now!

Good job on this, man. Its great, man. This is definitely a conspiracy, man. You have exposed the true evil, man.

To think, we aren't even safe in our own pools anymore! :shk:

What is this world COMING TO!

I'm not so sure, and I think we might be getting a bit off track here.

I, O, D.... imagine filling it in with a "Z"!

IZOD! What's their logo... the Gator!

Gators are aquatic and reptillian!

It must be a reptillian conspiracy to rule the world with Olympic golds!

What the hell?

I am no big fan of Phelps (he keeps beating our Aussie swimmers, grrrr), but to go as far as labelling him a cheat...geez

This always occurs when athletes perform superbly, why cant people just accept that some athletes are better than others? As one of our aussie commentators said when we won the womens 4x200m freestyle from lane seven......the olympics is just about how you perform on the day.....not about how good you are overall. I think Phelps is just in a fine vein of form at the moment, and good luck to him

And just to add, behind the scenes, swimming is very heavily tested daily for drug cheats. If he was guilty of this, then I am sure the olympic commitee would pick him up.

Oh, I think we're on to something much larger than the OPs post.
If he eats apples, that ties him in with horses.
Remember Horses race.
Ipod, racing, horses, and its his Job to race.. Steve Jobs... OMG.....
And we have gill like slits during fetal stages, so Phelps is really a fish.

Wait, his first two letters is pH. The pH of the pool is precisely measured and monitored. This must give him an advantage also.

Also, if you take the name Mike Phelps, thats 10 letters. Power of 10, so he's probably Illuminati or a Mason or an Al Queda.

I definitely think this is grounds for taking all of Phelps medals away. How DARE he listen to music before the race.

BTW Musics and Phelps = same number of letters ... omgz

Face it, he is the real thing man. No steriods, no 'doses', just one hell of an swimmer, and yes he has pushed himself to do what no one else has ever done. Your accusations is unfounded.

It's well known that he listens to Swiss and Bavarian church bell music before races to get an unfair advantage over his competition by tapping into the Chi of the universe.

Any further proof is provided by his very name: Michael Phelps.

An anagram for "Alp chimes help" and "Ample Chi helps"!!!

I don't know what other proof is necessary; he should be immediately stripped of all his medals.

Okay, I have 100% proof that Phelps is cheating.
We need to take away all of his gold medals.

Michael Phelps = 13 letters
A Steroids Doser = 13 letters

Michael Phelps = A Steroid Doser!!

I just knew that Americans weren't able to accomplish anything.
I have no clue why some people think that our athletes are able to actually compete and win, that's just purely ludicrous.

Every now and then a truly great athlete comes along and combines superb fitness, skills, form and a little luck to become one of a kind in his field......this man is Buddy Franklin.

At the Sydney games it was pretty obvious the yanks were cheating at least on the track, I mean at times they were lookin round and slowing down cos the lead was a bit of a joke. I knew it was a matter of time till some of them got busted and Marion Jones was picked up a few years later. She is currently in jail, stripped of the 5 golds from Sydney and any others she won... sucked in.

Does Phelps cheat? Only he knows, noone else here could say because the doping tech is usually 3 steps ahead of detection methods. But what goes around comes around, cheaters end up with all sorts of nasty health problems, plus bad karma.

Phelps is Franklin... I knew it..

So, Phelps should have his medals taken away since he is guilty of identity theft...... Lifelock could've prevented it.

Uhm... There is a very valid reason for this.


one of his sponsors told him if he won 11 medals between last olympiad and this one, they would give him 1 Mil.

I'd be that way too...

Plus have you seen what he eats? like 8 red bulls a day, tons of spaghetti etc. This man is a energy burning machine who just one 1 million

Stands to reason. Did you hear him give his press report? He doesn't sound too altered.

I guess some CHinisese National would have to come on here and post some nonsense...


Every 20 mins China is exposed as perputraiting another hoax... Of course they should feel bad...




There is another Chinisese (Blank)-Stain on the olympics everyday...

Oh yeah? Well Michael Phelps cheats. you can't possibly be in that many events one after another and win.

OMG you are funny.

The guy is a machine. His body is perfectly built for swimming and he trains his butt off (literally).

Sorry, but your 'reason' (*he must cheat because he wins so much) just sound like sour grapes.

The op does not really think Phelps is cheating.
He already stated that he was mad about some thread on the Chinese cheating, and this was his way of showing it. He was trying to draw a parallel.

I think he’s listening to the theme song for “Flash Gordon“ by Queen., followed by “Eye of the Tiger.” But he could be shocking his brain with some kind of tazer like gizmo made to look like a Ipod.

Interesting now mods have to show disclaimers with their post.

Anyway, I saw his last swimming yesterday and I have to agree this boy is unbeatable.

He doesn't even look like he is struggling for a win after a swim at all.

BTW he is double joined, I wonder if that helps with the swim also

I don't know how an i-pod could make you swim fast, But i do know size 14 feet definitely will

Does anyone know if he has syndactyly aka webbed toes? Sure, pictures of his feet are shown, but they seem to be from foot level and never facing downward.

No, it possibly coudnt be that he eats 12,000 CALORIES A DAY and practices 5hrs a day and is built like a giant dolphin. Nope, that couldnt be the reason he is an incredible athlete.

You fell into the propaganda trap. He's a swimmer, not a super heavy weight weightlifter. Didn't you know that if you eat before you go swimming it causes cramps. Everyone was told this 50 years ago, you eat, you have to wait for your stomach to do it's thing. This is part of the anti-green movement, what kind of carbon footprint is required for all this food?

It's a form of meditation, and there's not a single thing wrong with it. It certainly doesn't fall outside any of any of the Olympic rules/regulations.

As a + 50 year old myself. I too realize that listening to the Rocky soundtrack makes me do incredible things.... like running up stairs

The guy is just a very tall midget. He's built for swimming.

If I was a conspiracy type guy, I worry about them commies getting hold of DNA samples from all the gold metal athletes and cloning them with good old fashioned red communistic genetics for the Olympics in 16 years.
