I just read that the men's 200 MR was DQd at Worlds. That race could've given Phelps a record 8th gold medal... bummer.
Phelps was very gracious about it. He said, "We came in here as a team, we exit as a team."
Sigh.
PS Did you see the size of his HANDS! I would like to swim just one race with hands his size, and feet the size of Thorpe's. (Yep, I have puny little paws!)

I think there is an obvious conspiracy theory here: Japanese breastroker Kitajima, the renowned foil of US Swimming is still burned at the disrespect he has received, even in light of winning the 200 ***, so he approaches the French media (root of all conspiracy theories) and they hatch a plan: How best can we rain on the US parade:- answer: prevent Phelps from attaining his coveted 8th gold medal. With the help of an unnamed cyborg of extragalactic origin, they obtain an invisible pea shooter able to function in accuracies of milliseconds. At the appropriate moment the fateful pea is shot into Crocker's gluteaus maximus and a historic moment is prevented. Kitajima twirls his sideburns (lacking a mustache) and dolphin kicks insolently during warm-downs.
