What is it with American born athletes going to compete for countries that they have never lived in at the Olympics. Mike Cavic, the "Serbian" who almost beat Michael Phelps, and then protested it after he lost, was born in Anaheim California. He went to high school in Irvine, went to college at the University of California, and now lives and trains in Florida. Cavic was quoted as saying "At the time I wasn't good enough to swim for the U.S., and I thought it would be a good opportunity to try to get on the Olympic team with Yugoslavia. All throughout my childhood, my parents really instilled Serbian value and culture in me". You know what they say, if you can't beat em, join a different country. Anyway here is a clip of him talking about rematch with Phelps. Well, sorry Cavic, Phelps is chillin with Mickey and the gang in your backyard.
