I think Phelps actually broke 8 world records during the Olympics !
Wow didn't realise, then there really is no contest, Phelps is the man of the Olympics in my opinion.

I don't know anything about the suit that Amat talks about but I really don't see how anyone can discredit Phelp's achievements based on the trunks used any more than you can discredit Bolt because of the trainers he wore?

And what about sports like cycling, sailing, rowing etc, doesn't the equipment they use get improved over time?

Improvements are sought in every field I'm sure, training, nutrition, equipment, clothing, these wll be constantly improved in every single discipline so I'm sure the suit makes no difference.

It's not like he had flippers on and a fin on his back
