    Yes. I said it.
    HA! Now thats funny. "Oh, god! He's successful at a sport in the Modern Era! HE MUST BE USING STEROIDS!" No. If he comes up positive in a steriod test then you can say something, until then you can't say jack. After all, Jeremy Giambi was a huge failure in baseball and he took steriods didn't get him anyway. People can be great at a sport without steriods.
    Not as funny as the fact that you think people jump to extremes as easily as you described. I'll say it in a similar way that you said it: "Oh god! Someone is being skeptical of the fact that someone is unusually better than others! I must now mock that person!" Yes, people can be good at a sport without steroids, but probably not so good that breaking world records becomes "effortless" like you said. That's why I kind of said the steroids thing as joke, sorry if it didn't seem that way to all Phelps fans. I'm just saying that I'm slightly skeptical of Phelps' ability; it's not like I'm outright accusing him of being a fraud.

    Again, I wasn't trying to accuse Phelps of using steroids and only meant it as a joke.

    (By the way, aren't there certain non-steroid drugs a person can take that makes certain substances (such as steroids) in urine untraceable?)
