FINA wants Phelps to compete at Worlds (despite suspension)

OK. FINA hypocrisy at maximum, statement today (4/16/2015) from FINA Executive Director: "We may give him another status because he's the greatest athlete (in) history," Marculescu said. "We can do whatever. He is the No. 1. He doesn't need the accreditations." The FINA official said he has not discussed Phelps's status with the U.S. team. "We don't discuss with USA Swimming yet because they passed so many waves in the case of Phelps," Marculescu said.
