“It’s kind of a normal thing to do with swimmers. You know, when we’re in the water for two hours we don’t really get out, you know, to pee. We just go whenever we’re on the wall. Chlorine kills it so it’s not bad.”

Meanwhile, he defended Chinese prodigy Ye Shiwen and said it was “sad” that her Olympic performances had been greeted with scepticism. “It’s kind of sad that people have a great swim and that's the first thing they say,” Phelps said on CNN. u00a0
