Interesting part of the article:
"Phelps has said Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods are the two superstars he'd most like to meet following his exploits in China, and he could be emulating one of them already.
Woods took time at the pinnacle of his career to remodel his swing to renew his dominance, and Phelps is speaking of completely switching the training program he has followed for the past decade.
Phelps said the changes suggested by coach Bob Bowman could help rejuvenate him mentally and physically after what he described as the most grueling period of his life.
"Bob said to me that he's going to take everything he's done coaching me and throw it out the door and try something completely different, just to see how it works," Phelps said. "We'll try a bunch of new things. If we're successful, great. If not, we can go back to what we've been doing."
Are Phelps and Bowman considering specificity training?

You're right. So he is .5 secs off. I think he can improve more than .5 secs just by adjusting his training. Strength will help but he doesn't need to be as big as Bernard.
I'm not talking about 47.0, I'm talking about 46.0. Phelps dominates the 200, and he can do the exact same thing in the 100 if he chooses to work on strength.
