michael phelps is a genius

no, he's not a genius because he won 8 gold medals in bejing. he's a genius because he won 8 gold medals without anyone (at least that i heard) raising questions about use of performance enhancing drugs. i know he's an amazing athlete and all, but what are the odds of winning every single event you enter? like a million to one.

so i know that the majority of the athletes wore new fancy suits this year that supposedly helped them swim faster, but there's just no way the suits alone accounted for so many broken world records. and i especially loved all the stories about phelps specifically that talked about how he had been put on a weight training routine since athens to boost his strength. so they want us to believe he had never lifted weights in his life before he began training for bejing? somehow i find that hard to believe, too.

whoever does his pr deserves a gold medal, that's all i've got to say.

and whoever decided to produce this should be shot.
