Phelps doesn't give up

Michael Phelps said that the door to the 2016 Olympics in Rio is not closed. The retired American swimmer, eighteen times Olympic champion, is trying to get back in shape. Phelps has taken a drug test which means that he is probably planning to come back for the Rio Olympic Games. 

Although Phelps hasn't guaranteed that he is going to swim again, he has been working out with his team at the North Baltimore Aquatic Club. His coach, Bob Bowman, thinks that Phelps is starting to feel good about swimming but that "this doesn't mean that he will be able to compete". 

Despite his retirement, Phelps is still one of the most acknowledged swimmers in the world and he doesn’t need money because he has earned enough during his career. If he started competing again, it would be to do the one thing that he loves the most: swimming.
