    I believe the defiant part was he wore a t-shirt on the medal stand that translated to "I am the swimmer." In other words, shouldn't he get to choose which suit he wears? By all means. Unless of course, he signed a contract agreeing to wear only the suits of the manufacturer who is signing his paycheck!
