100thofasecond.com presents: Michael Phelps - The Greatest Amphibian of All Time* - or just another corporate-owned Frankenstein?
DID MICHAEL PHELPS REALLY WIN THAT 7TH GOLD MEDAL AT THE 2008 BEIJING OLYMPICS

OR

WAS THIS A CONSPIRACY OF OLYMPIC PROPORTIONS?






On August 15th a corporately-owned athlete by the name of Michael Phelps participated in a 100-meter Butterfly finals race at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He was heavy favorite to win this race, despite losing the same race in qualifying session against someone who is, in an ignorant world we live in today, commonly refered to as "some guy", but who in the world of competitive swimming is actually the "big fish" by the name of Milorad Cavic.
the official timekeeper of the event OMEGA showed that Phelps supposedly won by 0.01 of a second. That is 100th part of one second, and the lowest margin of difference allowed in the official swimming contests.

How is it that the official timekeeper of the event is the same company that sponsors Phelps since 2004? Isn't there a clear conflict of interest here? You know how deligthtfully messed up that is?? That's like having Tim Donaghy officiating in NBA games, and also placing bets on them. And why are leading FINA officials unashamedly and brazenly the biggest cheerleaders of Michael Phelps?
Oh there is a lot more, enjoy (I believe every word of it! Down with Phelps!)

this was bound to to create a lot of controversies.
because the scene was really unbelievable.

i will go through the link you provided,later.

But FINA claims and Serbian team did register official protest and when the pictures were dissected upto 1000th of a second it showed Phelps to be a clear winner and Serbian team was satisfied with it.

FINA decided not to make public the pictures.

well this seems to never ending debate i would like to be neutral and enjoy reading it and also enjoy Phelps doing great swimming.

I feel for cavic though

I don't think there was anything that the timekeeper can be blamed. I don't think some body would have altered the touching pads. Most of the time keeping must be automated. Moreover none of them could foresee this happening. Though it appeared to the naked eye that cavic won easily, the fact that Phelps accelerated amazing well in the last 25 meters convinced at least me that he was the winner. May be Cavic was convinced with the lead he had and didn't have the presence of mind to touch the wall even when it was within his reach.

^^that cud be the possibility....but still it was only after a review/screening of the last touchdown...the results shud have been announced...not before that....it was wrong on the part of the timekeepers to announce wid out chkg.......

also it might be the case as Ninja told that it might be automated...it is also possible to someone from inside monitoring room...pressed the touchdown button before Phelps did??? this is just my imagination...

People are now talking about the possibility of Bolt being doped.
This will never end This is becoming just like the TDF doping scandals
