The award is "sportsmen" of the year not "sports performance" of the year. Phelps wins for his 200 free competition (it's not just about the winning) and giving up his relay spot, and a sure world record, to his teammate (it's also about the team).
Armstrong performance would win in my book but that's a different award.
