No, Omega is a Swiss company and they wanted to lend a neighborly hand to the Germans. What about Dominik Meichtry? :shakeshead:

We are part of the societal and global loop structure that is larger than the capability of our individual comprehension of the matters that concern us and our well-beings. I've often thought this myself, but I've never been able to articulate it so beautifully.

The best part -The greatest whatever athlete of all-time can't bear to look the truth in the eyes. (Source: unknown) and it shows michael still catching his breath while looking away from milorad...as if that can prove anything... also, milorad couldn't beat michael if michael strictly trained for the 100fly... also, why did the creator of the website speak badly of sponsorship???milorad gets paid by sponsors too...all of the athletes do to an extent...

Dara Torres and Ian Crocker were beat out of certain medals by .01 of a second... I don't see anyone making a fuss out of that. Cavic obviously had a pathetic finish and Phelps was just lucky with his half stroke. I'm so sick of conspiracy theories. It's hard for me to tell from the pictures, they could have even tied... but .01 is just a fraction of a second - someone had longer fingernails. It was Phelps. That website is the biggest bunch of BS... beating someone in prelims and semis means nothing... Phelps had to hold back on all of his pre-finals races because he was swimming so much. If Cavic took another stroke, he probably wouldn't have beaten him anyways, both of their timing was off.

Next conspiracy thing you'll hear is that the pool had water jets spewing a current in Cavic's direction which caused a momentary delay on his finish. And all the moon landings were filmed in area 51. They were really.

Cavic: "If we got to do this again, I would win it." (Source: LA Times, August 16 Yeah because he screwed up Bigtime.....came in to the wall like an amateur, that's why he lost....... Is it just me or do Cavic's arms look a little extra long in that freezeframe picture on that site?

100thofasecond.com/rules-dont-apply-to-phelps.jpg Whoever created this site seems like they aren't quite sure what their own argument is. Is he saying Cavic actually touched first or that Michael touched first, but since it wasn't simultaneous it should have been a DQ? He conveniently neglects to show this photo which clearly shows Phelps touching the pad and Cavic not quite there: sportsillustrated.cnn.com/.../content.5.html Whoever created this site probably thinks the moon landings were also faked! :)

Honestly, I would love to see those images released. It is kind of odd that FINA will not do so. That said, if the Serbs saw it and conceded the race, that says something. The photos this dude shows are horrible, and easily could have been doctored.

anyone read down to the bullet points at the end where they're saying phelps was in an "omega sponsored lane"??? uh hello? all the touchpads say omega on them... :notworking:

No, Omega is a Swiss company and they wanted to lend a neighborly hand to the Germans. You'd think they would be trying to appease the Russians right now.....

Wouldn't it have been in the best interests of the corporate types if Dara had won the 50 by 0.01 as well? Skip And don't forget to give Crocker that Bronze instead of 4th!!!

His/her point was that Phelps is sponsored by Omega and Omega makes the timing system used in Beijing. i think they guy hates the man...just read what he has to say about marketing...describes michael as a corporately owned...if you have a job and are not an entrepreneur, you are pretty much corporately owned

They are all banned from the sport from now on!!!! Stupid comment from the site? Yep!!! So, now it is a bigger corporate conspiracy......Speedo, Omega and every other sponsor of Phelps got together to rig that one race? Hah, that's too funny!!!
