This is a pathetic attempt to control US swimmer's incomes.
What the hell is behind this inane decision?
Are we trying to kill off the sport slowly?
This decision is ridiculous !

Hoffman,
I can assure you that Gary Hall and others on deck that have been robbed of this opportunity have a slightly different opinion than you.
If USOC wants to stick their own sponsors logos on the heads of US swimmers as they have done in the past, then compensate them directly, not with the filtered down "funny" money that Geek has described.
Again, if the swimmers don't like it enough, they can boycott. If they don't boycott or get a lawyer then they will have to take the decisions that are handed down to them by USOC whether they like it or not.
It will be interesting to see if Phelps speaks his mind on this or his manager.
