He was talking about how 200m butterfly times now aren't that much faster from times that people swam in the 2000 Olympics and that the gold medalist then (Tom Malchow) could still be competitive now based on times alone. Le Clos just took it as Michael saying that no one is really that fast in the butterfly.
In 2000 it was still textile. Some people wore full bodysuits, like Thorpe. But even these were textile. Besides, every other event has gotten faster since 2000. For some reason the 200 fly hasn't.
He basically talked about how compared to the early 2000s, people really hadn't gotten faster. Everybody was basically going 1:54 high, which was Phelps' time from 2001.
He said, "Michael was talking about how the 200 butterfly has been a slow event lately. I just went a faster time than he has went in three years. So Michael can keep quiet.". Cheeky
+NZJacobNZ he did it in the nationals not at the FINA world championships were workd records count no in america.Besides we will see what happens during the rio 200 butterfly
plot twist...watch in a year or so..."and in breaking news today, micheal phelps comes clean on using banned substances for years"....i see a second armstrong here!!!!

but in 2000 and I think until 2008 everyone was using textile, so the times were faster.

What did Chad say about Michael

Le Clos went 50.5 in his 100m fly. Said it was faster than anything Phelps did in 4 years.
+DisasterMan10 phelps did a faster one at the nationals right
+Daniel Richards Yes, Phelps did the fastest time in the world that year in both the 100 and 200 fly (also the 200 IM i'm fairly sure)
+NZJacobNZ he did it in the nationals not at the FINA world championships were workd records count no in america.Besides we will see what happens during the rio 200 butterfly
