This is conspiracy theorist bull shit. Phelps triggered the touch pad first, thereofore winning the race. Cavic knew he had to exert at least some pressure on the pad to get it to stop the clock. Besides, he coasted for about 3 feet. If he had done another half stroke like Phelps did, he would have won. This is not a debate. Put it to rest.Phelps won. Period. Over and out.
