GO! Smell more gold, Michael Phelps
August 18th, 2008 by JimAnyone else in awe of the U.S. Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps?
As his gold medal hunt in Beijing ends he leaves the Water Cube eight golds heavier, breaking Mark Spitz’s record of seven gold medals in one Olympics.
He’ll be netting a $1 million bonus from Speedo for his performance now that he’s one-upped Spitz’s record count, cementing his place as one of the best athletes of all time.
Superman. Magical. The King. The Dolphin. The Fish. The Phenomenon has a unique diet. Let’s just say he eats well with his typical breakfast being:
‘three fried egg sandwiches, with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, fried onions and mayonnaise, followed by three chocolate-chip pancakes; a five-egg omelette; three sugar-coated slices of French toast and a bowl of grits (a maize-based porridge), washed down with two cups of coffee.’
On it goes as he consumes 12,000 calories during a typical day! With no mention of John West tuna? Another endorsement on the way, perhaps? Whatever next, endorsing credit cards to pay for his food bill?
Comments welcomed on this superhuman achievement, his calorie intake and other suitable swimming related sponsorship ideas, flipper.
Phelps should be commended
He shows what can be achieved with genetics, training, dedication, boatloads of human growth hormone and a hugely advanced drug protocol
congrats to him. And to Organon. And to Schering. And to the people who help him pass his drug tests.
not to mention size 14 feet !
lets see massive inhuman sized feet
interesting
one of the perceived side effects of excessive growth hormone use is ACROMEGALY. Look it up!!
Sorry guys, can’t be bothered with Phelps today! Too excited about other Olympics stuff!!
aaaaaah Usain Bolt in the 200m Bridget?
HA HA HA very funny!
Great achievement but he’d have had no chance against Patrick Duffy, he could beat a Dolphin and he had a dapper porno haircut.

Congratulations to Michael Phelps!!! He is amazing. I can see him endorsing swim products (goggles, swim trunks, active wear), credit cards, cars, food items, practically anything if they have a great advertising agency…someone can always be creative.

Bruno Julie of Mauritius just boxed beautifully and won!
Yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!
I didn’t have you down as a boxing fan Bridget? Just goes to show eh……..
Oh it’s just that Bridget doesn’t like Venezuelan boxers all that much you know, so anyone who beats them scores with her ha!
AND I took a shine on boxing since you went on and on about Muhammad Ali on a post about Tiger Woods once ha!
you see you are learning two of the most important rules in life
rule1- UP is always right
rule 2- please refer to rule1
**URBAN,
What drugs do you believe Phelps maybe on? Seriously - any ideas - can they get away with growth hormone?
HGH is untraceable. Insulin is untraceable- oh and interestingly one of the effects of insulin use is to increase the appettite so people can eat huge amounts and fuel their training sessions. HGH works in conjunction with it to ensure that those nutrients are not stored as fat. add in thyroid drugs like T3, T4 and the body becomes a nutrient furnace.
IGF-1 is also untraceable.
also the use of masking agents is miles ahead of the testers. so you can take the above stuff as a given but remember with traditional steroids the testers can only recognise substances they KNOW exist. so a NEW substance won’t be tested for as they don’t know it exists.
Blimey!
Wonder if the Brit cycle team are on anything with their Gold haul?
Apart from saddles, of course.
honest answer
I’d be amazed if any of them weren’t on stuff
lets face it if they weren’t on anything they could walk all the medals if they were to go on

some Athelets arent using drugs at all..
The latest craze is Gene Theropy… where by they are literally changing the Genetcs to be better at their sport..
Phelps well done ..
But I dont think he is the best..
some of his medals came from relays…. to make the claimof the best they should be individual medals.. like Spits..
Hi Aussie
Have the other teams who have more medals than Austrailia –there are many
got better athletes or better drugs ??
Urban
What about Sir Steven Redgrave ?
Should he return all of his Olympic Gold Medals ?
He has been injecting insulin for years !!
That is why he is still alive
thats where its such an grey area Bo Snr. You simply can’t eliminate insulin and growth hormone from sport. And if they did I bet a load of ‘recently diabetic’ athletes would surface!
didn’t spot the sea scooter then on the underwater cameras? perhaps he’s pasted a polaroid shot in front of the lens during the night????? very MI
