Michael Phelps Coming Out of Retirement

Michael Phelps is coming out of retirement, the first step towards possibly competing at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. The 22-time Olympic medalist will compete for the first time since the 2012 London Games at a meet in Mesa, Arizona, on 24-26 April.
 
Bob Bowman, his long-time coach, said that Phelps is entered in three events: the 50m and 100m freestyles and the 100m butterfly. "I think he's just going to test the waters a little bit and see how it goes," Bowman said. "I wouldn't say it's a full-fledged comeback."
 
Phelps returned to training last autumn and re-entered the US drug-testing programme. He has completed his six-month waiting period by the US Anti-Doping Agency to be eligible for competition.
