Why dont they drug test Micheal Phelps? ?

Question

Its funny how they build up phelps as some superman, but i bet my *** that this guy will never be tested for performance enhancing drugs at the olymics. It suits them to have this guy as some clean living sports hero - the best of all time - why?

I reckon they picked on people like ben johnson cause he is black. they wanted to paint the black man as a cheat. its the same what they did to dwain chambers.

But clean cut phelps is NEVER going to be tested or if he was the results would be covered up by the cia and olympic authorities and sycophantic media. The hypocracy makes me wanna puke.

Answer 1

Do you have any proof that M. Phelps was NOT tested for physical-enhancing drugs?  I'm sure that he WAS, and that he passed with "flying colors".

Answer 2

Medal winners are always automatically tested. It is rare that swimmers fail a drugs test. Athletics is the major sport where this happens.

Ben Johnson did cheat and take steroids as did Dwain Chambers when he admitted that he took performance enhancing substances after his failed test.

Answer 3

Why are you such a stupid ***, who can't do ANY research before posting dumb *** questions like this?  Phelps has done drug testing, Phelps HAS given his blood to be stored in a freezer for any new tests they make up, Phelps even volunteered to have his blood tested everyday.

But please, if you want to puke do so, making you can puke out some stupid, well then again you can't fix stupid.

Answer 4

He gets tested like every 5 seconds

Answer 5

dude are you like the biggest idiot or what?

after every race and before, micheal phelps and ALL swimmers report for drug test.

I know you are a complete waste of a swimmer, but don't go and start hate towards others who have accomplished a great deal in their life.

Before you spew hate, get your facts straight

KNOWLEDGE> u

Answer 6

Micheal Phelps has a drug test after every race. It is in his schedule which they talk about constantly when the olympics are on air.

Answer 7

All Olympians are tested for drugs, especially ones that are setting world records.  How do you know he hasn't been?  Your conspiracy theory is unfounded and demeaning.

Answer 8

Dude, they test him after every race.

Pay Attention!

Answer 9

You really should pay attention to what's going on before you spout off on some random rant about a highly-qualified athlete. All athletes are tested the same, unless they want to be extra careful by submitting to drug tests more often. You have no proof that they want to "paint the black man as a cheat", nor do you have proof that the CIA would cover something up if our champion swimmer was to fail a drug test. Get a grip. Check out this story.

Answer 10

For someone that performs so well, there is no way that he IS NOT tested and often.

Answer 11

How do you know they don't test him? Are you there? Did you see something on your TV that the rest of us didn't? The IOC runs all of the testing anyway. The Americans won't have any thing to do with it. I think you are strangely bitter. It's odd.

Answer 12

I would be willing to bet he has been tested.

Why are you so bitter? He is an awesome athlete. We should all be proud that he is representing the USA

Answer 13

Phelps gets drug tested as much or more than any athlete in the world, in any sport.  He's never failed a test.  Until he does fail a test, he's clean.  That's how the system works and that's why the system is in place.

  

Answer 14

And what influence does the CIA have in communist China?  Have you ever heard of Floyd Landis?  Won the Tour de France a few years ago then was stripped of the title after testing positive for drugs.  Oh, wait he's white and mentioning him wouldn't support your ridiculous conspiracy theory.

Answer 15

You are way off base.  CBS/NBC/ESPN and more have all done stories about how Phelps is one of about a dozen Olympians that goes through voluntary drug test to help foster an anti-doping program.  They are creating a body chemistry profile to use in future.  I think you need to read the links below get your facts straight.  

Why is it so hard for you to believe that Phelps is a phenomenal swimmer and is currently the best in the world?  Not everyone needs to be doping to be a good athlete.  Only the athletes that really don't have the "it" factor need doping.

GO MICHAEL!

Answer 16

they did all year, as they do just about all Olympic competitors

and

they will after these Olympics

I think the records have more to do with the new swim suits in combination with his great ability

Nations don't test the competitors, the International Olympic Committee does

Answer 17

I'm sure Phelps had been tested.

The real question is, are all athletes tested as strenuously & equally, for performance enhancing substances?

WHY is there NOT ONE person that questions why Cathy Freeman could NEVER perform to the standard of her Sydney Race, before or after that day? Being given the privilege of Lighting the Flame at the Opening Ceremony in Sydney, has made her UNTOUCHABLE?

It is precisely the opposite reason, to that which you have stated, in Ben Johnson's case.

It's amazing that there is no suspicion. No question of integrity. I agree with you there are cover-ups. Too many.

But then the Olympic Authorities like the AOC President, John Coates lost sight of what The Games were about more than 20 years ago. The whole system is corrupt when such a man can steal the Olympic Uniforms from lesser known members of the team & Auctioned them for profit in the Olympic Village.

I have seen first hand that the Media will do anything to make one of their "chosen" athletes into a Brand Name. And from that time on they can lie, steal & deceive without consequence.

Phelps will have an amazing life handed to him after Beijing. Nowdays it is only a person's own conscience that can truly make them worthy of a Gold Medal.

As strange as it seems, I believe Marion Jones to be a true Champion, not for the races she won, but for the guts she showed in coming forward with the truth and taking the heat. Many still hide!

Answer 18

because they know the results will be clean. He is not on steroids of any sort. and he has been setting records for a while already

Answer 19

Dude, they said that he volunteered for extra testing! He's clean, do some research before assuming things.

Answer 20

They test him ALL the time!!!

Why aren't you learning this stuff?

Answer 21

They did, and he passed.

I understand that you're pissed off that he's now one of the greatest athletes ever and he's representing the USA, but you need to get your facts right.

Answer 22

They have, and he passed.  Why don't you test him?
