I remember reading a news story about the crazy diet of competition swimmers last year and they were saying that a bunch of calories are burned simply by the body heat loss while in the water. This totally makes sense if you think about it. If you are training daily and in the pool most of the day your body is continually battling the lost of heat due to being in water that is colder than your body temp. Not to mention that swimming aggressively is a pretty hard core full body work out.
If your body is burning that many calories training I don't think their poo would be any bigger/more than a normal persons diet. It actually wouldn't surprise me if they actually pooed less than the average person. You poo the extra food that your body can't use or can't digest.
The only thing I wonder is why they don't have eating competitions held side by side with swimming competitions. Phelps could probably pull in a few more Gold medals if they had an eating contest.

What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

Just call it what it is with Phelps, everyone.
He really eats that insane amount of food because of all the pot he smokes.
Major munchies.
He had to figure out a way to throw the scent off the weed trail.
Swimmers "burn a lot of calories" and the chlorine smell masks the skunk.
OPEN YOUR EYES!!!!!
