I could be wrong, but we are talking about him not being on the 100 relay and then skipping the 200 relay (for which he was an alternate) in protest/anger/frustration?
He did not swim the 200 free so he wasn't even considered for the 800 relay. Only the 400 free relay was what he was considered for. He did not show up to the finals on night 2 to watch his team contest the relay.
