Ill race my heart out.A pair of Hungarians could also be part of the mix. Tamas Kenderesi posted the fastest time in the semifinals, edging out Phelps, and five-time Olympic medalist Laszlo Cseh put up the third-fastest time. Le Clos was fourth, not bad considering it was the back end of a grueling double, coming less than an hour after he claimed silver in the 200 freestyle.Of course theres a huge rivalry between Michael and myself, Le Clos said.

American Maya DiRado and Britains Siobhan-Marie OConnor, who was fastest in the semifinals, appear to be the most serious challengers to the Iron Lady.Phelps also took aim at swimmers linked to doping, an issue that has been at the forefront on the heels Russian doping scandal. Harsh words have been directed as athletes such as Yulina Efimova and Sun Yang, who previously served doping suspensions.Phelps joined the chorus of those demanding a clean competition.Youre probably going to see a lot of people speaking up more.

Its sad that today in sports in general, not just only swimming, there are people who are testing positive who are allowed back in the sport -- and multiple times.It breaks my heart and I wish somebody would do something about it.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .
