As a former college swimmer, I raised an eyebrow at the 52.25 second 100 meter breaststroke time. It is a level that I doubt humans (even on steroids) will ever reach. Here is how they did it. Originally his time was 105.25. You can see that the 5 and the .25 were part of the original time. Iranian text editing experts using a sophisticate word processor called "word" then when in and carefully removed the 10 from 105.25. They then cut and pasted the new time of 5.25 into the article. This was too radical a change so they added back another 2 and came up with 52.25. I know people will consider me part of a right wing conspiracy theory for pointing this out on the web, but let me assure you, I am very left wing.Stan He might not of photoshopped a picture, but he certainly photoshopped his time for the event.
