At the U.S. Trials there was one official in every lane looking at the turns, so now that we're in Athens, how does Kitajima get away with that dolphin kick on his turn? It seemed clear to me from the above water shot, then was confirmed with the underwater. Other breaststrokers care to weigh in?

no he did not get caught-not the same as not cheating
Lets not cry over spilt milk.
Give me a break, Cheating is cheating and Bill Clinton did not have sex with that woman.
Maybe it is OK to cheat where you come from, but my parents and teachers raised me to do the right thing.
Fifty years ago in Japan he would have had to comit suicide for such a disgrace to their country, and that is exacly what it is, a disgrace. All of Japan should denounce him for what he is, a CHEATER. I hope 50 years from now his grand children ask him why he cheated.
I am sorry about your distance race, but that has nothing to do with CHEATING in front of the whole world. Have you ever read the Olympic creed? No where does it say it is OK to lie, steal or CHEAT at all cost to win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw the same underwater videos, and did not see anyone with a underwater pulldown and dolphin bad enough to be disqualified, Except for the CHEATER Kitajima. I would bet you would be singing a different tune if a swimmer from Canada lost the Gold medal to a cheater, but we don't have to worry about that happening.
I remember the 1984 Olympics where the Canadian won the 200 ***. Everyone knew John Moffat sometimes pulled down so hard he had a dolphin and a pike to his underwater. He was watched closely and did not do anything illegal.
You know, there are only three countries in the world united against drug cheaters, the USA, Australia and Canada. It seems only the USA is taking a strong stand against stroke CHEATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sorry Bob, but Phil does not say suggests that Kitajima was not the only one he goes on to mention past Olympics and NCAAs, but does not say there were other cheaters in that race with the CHEATER Kitajima.
