Swimming: ‘Lack of preparation from Phelps’

LOS ANGELES: Tyler Clary has called out US Olympic swim teammate Michael Phelps for a poor work ethic. “I saw a lack of preparation from him,” said Clary. “He was a swimmer that didn’t want to be there. They can talk about all of these goals and plans and preparation they have. I saw it and I know it’s different. I saw somebody that has basically been asking to get beat for the longest time. The things he could have done if he’d worked as hard as I do would have been even more incredible than what he has pulled off.”
