The mystery of Michael Phelp's father has been solved!

Fred Phelps is the father of Olympian and American hero, Michael Phelps. He earned Douche of the year by successfully avoiding his son after his divorce to wife Deborah Phelps until Michael's wins at the 2004 Olympics.

"Oh hey Michael, congrats on the gold medals and sponsorship deals, remember me? Your father? Gimme a hug son!"

To add on to the douchebaggery, reports show that he has yet to congratulate his son on his performance in Beijing. Again, he has yet to congratulate his son for achieving eight gold medals in one Olympics, something no other Olympian has achieved in the history of history. 

Good job Fred Phelps! I hope you are having fun being a retired Maryland state trooper and hating yourself for ditching your son. Actually I'm glad you did what you did because if you hadn't then maybe Michael Phelps would have turned out to be douche, having been raised by a douche, and not, as I have said before, an American hero and a perfect example of the American dream to achieve greatness.
