Why wasn't Phelps disqualified for having his sponsor decide if he won or not?

Question

What's next, ask Phelps parents if he won or not?

How can such a HUGE and OBVIOUS conspiracy as having one of the competitors sponsors make the touch pads and decide who wins?

Why not let McCain's wife decide who won the election on November 12th instead of counting the votes?

Answer 1

I heard the officials made that call.  After looking at every angle from the tapes I believe that Phelps Won.  

Better Question is... Why is China trying to pass off young girls as 16 year olds!

Answer 2

well, replays will show taht he won every race...unless ur blindd... but take my word for it

Answer 3

Yall can say Phelps lost or w.e but one thing is that electric pads don't lie cmon man who the f**k is going to protest against electric pads. phelps won fairly. even if he didn't 7 gold medals and 1 silver is good. hate on.

Answer 4

geez calm down, I think he deserved to win hes faster than anyone else. and its over its not like you can do anything about it. move on

Answer 5

i also thought like u at first .but when they showed it from every angle it is confirm that he won that  

Answer 6

Such a great accomplishment and you are trying to throw a shadow over it....

It is not just the touchpad, but the cameras...all of the cameras....show that Phelps clearly touched first.  

What next???  Phelps isn't really old enough to participate?

Answer 7

this makes no sense

they didn't ask the touch pads

the touch pads record the times right away

there is no time in between for trickery

Answer 8

Why don't you ask Cavic who won?  On his official website he says Phelps won it.  Get over it.

Answer 9

If there were a way that the Chinese judges could have disqualified him, I'm sure they would have!

Answer 10

It may be an obvious potential conflict of interest, but not conspiracy. The camera doesn't lie.

Answer 11

Do you want us to take phelps medals away? From what i saw he won hands down. I wish people would stop attacking him. People hate him now because he endorses frosted flakes. He ate 12000 calories a day, and last i checked, cereal rarely goes past 200. Just be happy for him.

Answer 12

Well, He simply swam faster than any others swimmers.. I don't know of his Speedo LZR Racer helped improving his performance or not.. but wearing ones didn't violate any rules..

Answer 13

What in heavensake are you babbling about?   Somebody had to make sure he won the race.  Who cares who did it?  

Answer 14

What country are you from? You just jealous that America has 8 gold medals from swimming? As for the sponsor c**p, please, spare me. It's obvious he hit it earlier, it's amazing what people do when they're pissed off about their team losing.

Answer 15

I decided, they showed it on T.V. a gazillion times from every angle, indisputable he won.

Nice try, but this one is a swing and a miss. Try again.

Answer 16

Phelps won that race...if you know anything about swimming then you could see that the first time...no replays no slow motion...

That other man f*cked up in the end because any coach will tell you SWIM UNTIL YOU TOUCH THE WALL!!!

if you look at footage Phelps last stroke was a burst of energy while your other boy tried to glide into the finish. that slowed him down while phelps sped up.  You can even see him touch the pad without any electronic sensors
