While I understand your feelings, I have a bit of a soft spot when it comes to Phelps. I can't really explain it. However, I have a really rip-roaring crush on Lochte and as dumb as he is, he is known as a great guy. So I kind of want him to win.

I kept counting lanes and not understanding why they were saying Phelps was out of it. "LOCHTE WINS THE GOLD!!!" Then, five seconds AFTER the finish, they said, "whoops, Michael Phelps was in that lane". No kidding, guys. It would be funny if it had not ruined the enjoyment of the result.
