Is Michael Phelps slightly retarded?

I know I'm not alone in this. He appears a bit "off", like he's ...you know - "special".

He pronounces his last name as "Phelpth" and says he's a "thwimmer".

Just wondering if anyone out there knew what's really goin' on?

  1.  He's a nice guy and an awesome ATHLETE but that does NOT make him intellectually gifted - sorry. Drives me nuts when people equate physical accomplishments through hard work and discipline with IQ or any actual MENTAL talent. Mike Tyson was a great boxer (i.e. athlete) and you cant honestly tell me he's "accomplished" can you? Phelps is a great athlete and good luck to him, my hat is off to him in relation to SWIMMING, but attributing an athlete with every quality and ability known to man simply because he is famous for one single and, although impressive, trivial thing is ridiculous. Come on, can you imagine what life would be like without all the scientists that research cancer treatments, etc etc compared to a "fast swimmer"? Don't get me wrong, Phelps seems like a nice enough guy but lets keep things in perspective shall we?
