菲尔普斯:游泳选手在泳池里小便是常事

Michael Phelps has admitted what others have long suspected - swimmers do pee in the pool

Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympic athlete of all time, has revealed what no sports fan wants to hear – that Olympic swimmers occasionally relieve themselves in the pool.

The US swimmer said: “I think everybody pees in the pool. It’s kind of a normal thing to do for swimmers. When we’re in the water for two hours, we don’t really get out to pee.

Chlorine kills it so it’s not bad.”

Phelps was responding to comments made by fellow swimmer Ryan Lochte, who caused controversy recently when he reportedly said that he has on occasion relieved himself while in the pool.

Lochte has revealed that he peed in the pool while warming up for the London Olympics.

The 28-year-old swimming star made the revelation when radio personality Ryan Seacrest asked him, if swimmers urinate in the pool.

"Of course. We always do," he said

"I think there's just something about getting into chlorine water that you just automatically go," he added.

When asked if he did that during the London Olympics, he said: "Not during the races, but I sure did before in warm-up."

His battle with Phelps was one of the big talking points of the Games.

Lochte won the 400 metres individual medley, with Phelps finishing fourth.

But Phelps got his revenge in the 200 metres event, winning the race, as Lochte finished in the silver medal position.

The two were part of the US team that won gold in the 4 x 200 metres freestyle relay.

到目前为止个人获得金牌总数最多的奥运游泳选手迈克尔•菲尔普斯揭露了任何体育迷都不愿听闻的事实——奥运游泳选手们偶尔会在泳池内解手。

这位美国游泳运动员说:“我想每个人都会在泳池里小便。这对游泳运动员来说很正常。当我们在水里一待两个小时的时候,我们还真不会到泳池外去解手。”

“泳池的水是经过氯消毒的,所以也没那么糟糕。”

菲尔普斯此番话是在回应同样是奥运游泳运动员的瑞安•罗切特的言论。近日,有报道称罗切特透露自己偶尔会在泳池内解手,从而引发了争议。

罗切特透露说,他在伦敦奥运会比赛前热身的时候曾在泳池内小便。

当电台主持瑞安•克莱斯特问罗切特游泳运动员是否会在泳池内小便时,这位28岁的游泳明星爆出了这一猛料。

他说:“当然,我们一直都这么做。”

他补充道:“我觉得进入氯水之后,你就不自觉地想要在水里小便。”

当被问到他在伦敦奥运会上是否也在泳池内小便时,他说道:“比赛中不会,但我之前在热身的时候肯定这么做过。”

他与菲尔普斯的对决是本次奥运会的一大谈资。

罗切特获得了400米个人混合泳金牌,而菲尔普斯只获得了第四名。

但菲尔普斯在200米比赛中就复了仇,摘得金牌,而罗切特只获得了银牌。

二人都是美国获得4 x 200米自由泳接力比赛金牌团队的成员。
