Sounds more like a cry baby to me but here it is.....
Quote:
HONG KONG (AFP) - US swim legend Mark Spitz won't be on hand in Beijing if Michael Phelps breaks his record of seven gold medals at a single Olympics?because, he says, no one bothered to invite him.
Spitz said the International Olympic Committee, a US television network or FINA?the international body that governs world swimming?should have brought him to the Games this year, with Phelps making a go at his record.
"I never got invited. You don't go to the Olympics just to say, I am going to go. Especially because of who I am," Spitz told AFP in Hong Kong.
"I am going to sit there and watch Michael Phelps break my record anonymously? That's almost demeaning to me. It is not almost?it is."
