Talk about sour grapes man.

Branislav Jevtic, Serbia's chief of mission in Beijing, said the protest was short-lived.

"The video says (Phelps) finished first," he said. "In my opinion, it's not right, but we must follow the rules. Everybody saw what happened."

Cavic watched a replay afterward and said he accepted the results, although the Serb noted, "Technology is also imperfect. The hand is quicker than the eye."

Like, WTF does that EVEN MEAN? "Oh, the video shows he was first, but he wasn't!!!!!" eh? And I agree, the hand IS faster than the eye sometimes, WHICH IS WHY THEY USE TECHNOLOGY. Meh.

Yeah, "everybody saw what happened." Phelps won! That's what happened! Ha, I love the logic. They saw with their own eyes that the video showed Michael won, but they don't believe it. I'm sorry, but WHAT?! You fools make no damn sense! Do they think they video was edited? Someone behind the scenes must be a Phelps fan.

That's what sucks about this race being as close as it was...people will forever be saying Michael didn't really win the race and that it was all some conspiracy to keep the Phelps 8 gold medals hope alive. But that's also what made it so amazing!
