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 know you think he was first and you feel he was cheated. But this could go on forever. Phelps has the gold medal and no matter how hard you try it will not change. Take the complaint to FINA. We cannot solve the problem here.
Personally I am sure that Phelps won the race and the photos that I saw showed me that Phelps won. Phelps is not my favorite person but he is a great swimmer. Cavic is also a great swimmer.
i check and the foto is probably fake,i didnt know,my mistake....but all other evidence are sugestions the cavic was first....so sorry for my bad english,i hope you spoke any language but english...
