Controversy swallows Cube after Michael Phelps seventh gold.
What can happen in a hundredth of a second? The beat of a hummingbird’s wing, perhaps, or maybe sound moving across an imperceptible distance. Saturday morning here, at the Beijing Olympics, it was the difference between one man’s hand touching an underwater wall, another man’s hand behind him only because an electronic device said it was so. In that time, Michael Phelps made athletic history just when it looked as if an American-born Serb named Milo Cavic would snatch it away.
Milo Cavic slowed down at the end and Michael Phelps, who everyone wanted to win, won the race out of nowhere is somewhat suspicious. This created controversy, therefore more viewers, ad therefore better television ratings.
Do YOU think it was a set up and the other guy was asked to take the fall?

You guys are idiots. Does this theory work with websites no one has herd of? Quit trying to “create controversy “. He touched the wall first. They only showed the slow mo replay about a 100 times and his hand was on the wall first. They are not going to take his metal away but they should take this website down.

I completely understand how people can question the results of this race. It almost seems like a dream. The real question, though, is whether there is a human conspiracy going on, or just the universe playing with us.
