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!)
Crocker made a mistake as we all do. He will get over it and continue to swim on world record breaking relays. He also is a competitor, though, and while I have no doubt that he was not intentionally trying to undermine Phelps's gold rush, I also have no doubt that at some level he wanted to produce a better split than Phelps's.
