Conspiracy theories, haha. When things are as CLEAR as this...well, I guess people never surprise me. Phelps was just wearing jammers too, not the Speedo LZR racer. Also, Cavic just did the 100m butterfly. How many did Phelps do again...?
From that 100thofasecond.com:
"Finally, we can't help but to spotlight the emotional immaturity of the man himself. After the race Michael Phelps commented how he found an extra motivation before the race in the Cavic's statements that it would be good for the sport of swimming if Phelps lost. Whaaaat? This implies that Phelps thinks that nobody should say anything? That nobody should have their own right to exist and win? That the competitors should say nothing and instead should simply bow in front of his hyped-up "majesty"? Sadly, like every other red-white-and-blue delusional outthere that believes everything he reads -- Michael Phelps, too -- exhibits symptoms of that infamous and stereotypical "ugly American" condition."
Hmm, I sense some bias here. It's awesome he found extra motivation when people are trash talking. Wait, let him just sit back and take it.

This is a poor angle picture nonetheless, but you can see that at least Cavic's left hand is not touching the wall, possibly both. Phelps has his hands at a weird angle with light reflection. Remember, Phelps was also throwing his arms forward while still moving forward, Cavic is just gliding. Do people realize how short a hundreth of a second is?

Haha, what a joke. If you watch video footage, you can see he did look at him. It was a quick interaction probably for the reason of the trash talking above.
Give me a break. People say these types of things just to stir something up.
