He looks clean, too. I know that being skinny doesn't guarantee not having taken any chemical enhancements, but he sure looks clean. And being 6' 8.5" is certainly an advantage.

in france , a lot of the french national coachs were following since he was a junior swimmer because he was very talended but he had a lot of phycological problems, he comes from a difficult familly background , he lived at his coach house until 2007 where he decided to become serious about swimming and he started to see a mental coach to improuve his mind , after beijing and his 2 silver medals, he now wants to win , he is more focus on diet and he is doing more dry land . he wants to win the 50 free in london. in his many intervieu you feel that he has the same relationhip with his coach than phelps has with bob bowman. last year he said that swimming had probaly saved his life. in france , if you belong to the elite level as he does , he train in one of french national training center , you have a biological passport done by the french doping agency and is regulary tested .
