It’s a very convincing theory for the actual truth behind that photo finish event.

I haven’t read enough about this, but this bit is interesting:

How is it that the official timekeeper of the event is the same company that sponsors Phelps since 2004? Isn’t there a clear conflict of interest here?

well … this entire argument is undercut by the fact that .001 is actually one-thousandth of a second.  if you’re going to go to the great lengths of researching/documenting this conspiracy theory, AND buying a domain for it — you might want to check your decimal places.
