Michael Phelps expects his 9-month-old son, Boomer, to one day ask him about one of the biggest issues in sport.
“I don’t even know how I would even talk to my son about doping in sports,” Phelps said at a congressional hearing in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, examining the international anti-doping system. “I would hope to never have that conversation. I hope we can get it cleared and cleaned up by then. … That’s probably a question I could get asked. I don’t know how I would answer it.”
Phelps said in the 2-hour, 30-minute House subcommittee hearing that he “never voiced opinions” on doping issues until this year.
