| I think he's a great role model. He worked hard at swimming, went to college, and became the best olympian ever.

Who knows, maybe he would have never received a medal. We do know that he did smoke, and he did win 19 medals.

| The kid (kiddingly) is a great Olympian. If you folks aren't familiar with SOMD youth swimming, which brings up the up and coming swimmers, it's not my fault. He does alot for youth swimmers. They look up to him. He's been there at several meets. I'll contact a friend that can show you some pictures. We all have our faults. His coach is notorious for introducing adversity so that his swimmers can have mental attitudes that overcome everything negative. Do any of you remember the Beijing Olympics when his goggles where filled with water and he still won? The proof is in the pudding. Who knows where the SMOKING GUN originated????

| It should also be noted that Michael Phelps is from nearby Towson. Local boy that has broken a 48-yr-old Olympic record, way to go Michael!

| I don't think its quite fair to call him the greatest olympian ever due to sheer medal count. Swimming has a lot of different events therefore the chance to win alot of medals.
