    Although I LOVE the first answer. . . for REAL, because that's the real answer. . . here's another one. . . he didn't bother to train for two and a half years after the 2008 Olympics. He only trained for 18 months. I'm thinking he thought he could just whip himself into shape. FAIL.

    everyone always has a slow down it seems. some people reach it earlier . yes, i know he's only 27 but maybe he peaked already.

    He's getting older for a swimmer, he and Lochte were the two oldest swimmers. He may not be training as hard as he used to. He parties just as hard, but trains?

    instead of training he opened an MFP account and can't tear himself away from the awesome threads that have nothing to do with anything
