Justin Kievit, Middle School Wrestler, Lets Boy With Cerebral Palsy Win Match: When Jared expressed that he wanted to participate in a wrestling match, Mayes said he called his friend Randy Stevens (no relation), a coach at another middle school. “It wasn’t about weight class,” Mayes told the Tennessean. “I told him to point me toward the kid who has the kindest heart.”

Spitz was on the Today show this morning (not a bastion of journalism, but whatever) and pretty much said he had been taken out of context and/or misquoted in the reports that had him as pouty. It sounded a bit like damage control, but the main focus of his comments was around heaping praise on today's athletes and Phelps in particular.
I thought he came off pretty good, even with the linked article as background.

Holy cow. I thought this was a joke when I heard about it on NPR last week, even the commentators were making jokes about it. They interviewed one of the racers who said it was "a tremendous opportunity."
I hate to say it, but I am glad those are not my tax dollars at work.
