the most winnigns swimmers and other record olympic athletes are not rich either.

Just heard on the radio that he signed an endorsement worth $30m per year.

as i stated earlier

The million dollar bonus you all are talking about is just a sponsor throwing money at him, now think about that, if they just give him a million dollars, imagine how much they are actually paying him.. Oh and BTW the 1 million is the one you hear about because it is the only one that is public, he has a few other that i've heard about, totalling about 7 million. And yes most contracts state that if for anyreason you are caught cheating/wrongdoing/ or anything bad, you will have to pay back a portion if not all of the money

i'm used t obonuses beeign alrger than base salaries. a bonus smaller than the base salary is no rea lincentive.

it doesn't amtter as technicaly his 7th medals is not his, he most likely is doping and the swimming suits technicaly is also not legal accordign to olympic rules.

the swimming suits technicaly is also not legal accordign to olympic rules.

If the olympic committee knew him, and all American swimmers, were using "illegal" swimsuits then they wouldn't have let them wear them beforehand. It's not like they brought new hi-tech swimsuits and were trying to hide them from everyone.

the new high tech suits helps the sweimemrs float better in the water and stay closer to the surface. devices doing exactly what the swimmsuit does are not allowed. it is pretty clear in my book.

the olympic comitte isn'T all knowing. nor are the refrees, i have seen plenty of inconsitency in ruling and obviuos error. like jsut now in high jumping a brit unsucessfull atempt but it was counted as sucessfull.
