Phelps is going down ....

I think Phelps is just a stubborn idiot regarding the suits -- "I am going to stand by my sponsor" ??? What kind of BS is that -- there is no benefit for Speedo to see him lose in the LZR. He is going down tomorrow as well ... he can put on the Jaked at any time - nobody is stopping him except his stubborness - but to look all grumpy and blame the suit ?? You can cry about all the records being broken and I agree with much of that - but every swimmer as any suit available - if you choose not to wear it, you can't blame anybody but yourself. Standing principle would be wearing a regular speedo ... What if the US would have lost the relay by a tenth ? What if the Russians beat the US in the 800 Free relay - I am sure everybody can be happy that he is standing by his sponsor then. By the way -- the Germans were not allowed to wear the LZR last year at the Olympics - the addidas suits last year were terrible.
