The 23-time Olympic gold-winning swimmer made the comments during testimony before a House of Representatives subcommittee, following revelations that 23 Chinese swimmers had tested positive for a banned heart medication ahead of the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 but were allowed by the World Anti-Doping Agency to compete. Five of those swimmers went on to win medals, including three golds.

Dude doped legally, no one can beat the asthma team.

[@kikocannon8330]

I will 100% agree with him if he returns all his medals because he should be banned from day one!

[@christopherlau566]

Wow, Michael phelps seems fully recovered from his long time asthma, does he still require to use steroids drugs or inhaler anymore

[@smash_27]

[@jfwodeping]

Michael Phelps, the biggest cheater!

[@yhc1683]

Why you looks like 69 years old ?

[@kimchongify]

Phelps should stop lying to people with his entitlement like He's the only one who works hard...those who got caught doping in any country also works hard like he does..Difference is He was never caught and was probably even exempted. RITALIN right? For ADHD? And what's ur bronchodilator for asthma? Or swimming? Well Biles was exempted to take ADDERALL during olympic games so what were u exempted from?

[@reptilexcq2]

Sour grapes. US is afraid of Chinese swimmers dominating its metal counts because they know that's pretty much the only sports to get a lot of medals at the Olympics.

[@bobibufi1389]

everyone's a hero with strong moral compass AFTER they finish competing

[@MarYo88888]

U still standing with ur gold.

[@imacarguy4065]

Most are doping.

[@spicycheems2978]

This guy is just afraid his records be smashed by some other dude. He used tech advanced swim suits for his advantage before.

Let's start with Erriyon Knighton.

[@JuanPerez-ru5qt]

Team merica- coach says who has asthma, no one answers. Coach says you do now.
