I searched and couldn't find this posted, but I could have missed it.
Anyways, its pretty interesting because the official basically says Cavic touched first, but didn't "push" and slid, while Phelps pushed with force, etc etc. (He talks about this right at halfway through the video)

Personally I think you have to live with however the time system works as long as it is functional. If it was functional and Cavic didn't press hard enough, its tough luck.
The only alternative is to just present a "tie" when you are within the margin of error of the equipment.

I am a little puzzled how the Omega rep seems so convinced - but I am somewhat speculating that he would not make this up unless he had clear evidence. The pictures we have seen simply can not tell you clearly ...they do a photo finish with high speed cameras in track - you trust the "eye" in a sport that is a lot faster than swimming.
