I guess it's cause I've always been one to cheer the underdog in any competition. when someone comes to dominate anything I start to dislike them and wish someone else would win. After a while everything they do starts to make them look full of themselves even if they are not, I really don't think he is but I can't escape the feeling none the less.
Course when you have 7 or 8 gold medals that kind of speaks for itself I guess. So long as he doesn't get caught doping. I'm surprised no one has started such a rumour. True or not after this many winds you'd think someone would raise the issue. They did with Lance Armstrong.
I was watching a special on doping and I believe that phelps is part of a group of athletes that go through extra test to prove that he is clean.
At first I didn't realize how amazing his 8 medals were till you look at Hoff, who was suppose to be the female version of Phelps. She ended up with no gold medals, the physical and metal strain of the races was too much for her, even though she was the favorite.
