Apparently, Phelps has been spotted wearing a walking boot on his right ankle and it’s not some flimsy little thing either – it covers his entire foot and goes all the way up to his knee. He’s not letting it slow him down, though, since he recently said: “I’ve been in the …read more

If the pictures are any indication, Michael Phelps, has suffered a huge shock – he lost at a major swimming event for the first time in four years and he’s not happy. In fact, he looks downright pissed. Phelps had to bask in all his silver medal goodness while he watched Germany’s Paul Biedermann drape himself with the lame rope and then accept the top prize.
The reports are that he walked away as soon as the top three were given their medals but had to be brought back for the pictures (see below). He looked absolutely dejected to not be …read more
