Although not considered cheating, Phelps physiology gives him a leading edge over his fellow competitors. This man is built to swim!

  • Phelps has a very long torso and 'short' legs
  • His wingspan is longer than his height
  • The swimmer's legs resemble flippers
  • Phelps' double-jointed elbows propel him through the water
  • He produces less lactic acid than other athletes

Even with his physical advantages over the field, he was still plagued with a drug scandal. The information is still real sketchy and not made public just yet.

But a report that the International Olympic Committee and the drug firm testing the athletes during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games has received a test result from Michael Phelps that tests positive for DDP.

The President of the IOC Jacques Rogge has prided himself on the fact that he believes that they are doing everything they possible can in attempt to catch cheating athletes. The little bit of information that is being released is that after one of Michael Phelps gold medal, world record races he was taken next for a drug test.
