Phelps Competely Rested?

Anyone who doesn't rest for Trials is exceedingly foolish. It is FAR easier to do well on a second taper than to qualify for the US Olympic team while unrested. Even for Phelps et al.

Yes.

No.

He's rested. Rowdy and multitudes of others speculated the same in Long Beach four years ago. There's nothing to it but it won't stop the intrigue.
