Incidentally, Michael Phelps is an asshole (take it from someone who goes to school with him.)
He is, nonetheless, hott.

I think this was a case of Phelps pushed off, but his trunks kinda didn't want to.
Still... one damn, HOT photo!

Distractions aside, what exactly is he doing with his feet?

Ten bucks says that he doesn't have a "hairpie"

Gander is right, he is an asshole (I'm also a person from umich).
And to Fred, that would be a dolphin kick. If memory serves me correctly, he is about to kick down as his arms come down with the stroke.

I'm with Mati,
No hairpie....shaved as clean as a whistle. I miss speedos, these long shorts do nothing for me.

I have to voice the other side on Michael from what some posters wrote. I've met him three times, including once in the middle of a crowded resturant. He is a delightful, engaging, warm young man. The celebrity and attention thrust on him at 19 and 20 years old leads many to drugs, booze, etc. He handles his fame well. He is a great kid.
