In several stories about the swimming events at the World Championships in Melbourne, Australia, which are essentially Olympic games between the quadrennials, you’ll see the name “Michael Phelps” a lot, but I’m not reading this man’s name in any of them:

This is Cullen Jones, a Bronx native who swam collegiately at North Carolina State University, and recently turned pro, and is literally swimming in endorsement money, as corporations seek to paste their logo on the only decent black competitive speed swimmer in history.

What happened to the Great Black Aquatic Hope this year?
