Michael Phelps might be the man but...

As a 41 year old man I have to tip my hat to Dara Torres who at the age of 41 has won 2 Silver medals. In my mind a feat that is just as commendable.

There are plenty of elite female athlete's with bodies like that although swimmers aren't usually that ripped.

yup, Phelps need to be drug tested ,,,,, but I bet no one is gonna do it because it is considered a sin to even think this ...

Yes, Phelps is good ... awesome ... but for his age, he better be ... lets see him get the gold at 41 ... there won't be a mention of him when he is 41 ...
way too much hoopla around the guy I think ....

Yes, he has the most medals than anyone in a single event BUT that doesn't mean others are less worthy ... he is an awesome swimmer and that's it ... but so are the poeple in their own sports .. each has worked hard to be in there ...can't put phelps as DMAN.... it is not fair for other athletes
