Phelps looking to reclaim China glory

American star ready to rocket past his rivals again in Shanghai pool

SHANGHAI - After a two-year battle with a lack of motivation, 14-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps is aiming for a strong comeback at the FINA World Championships and still has his eyes set on breaking world records.

After grabbing a history-making eight gold medals in a single Olympic Games in Beijing, the American superstar swimmer went missing over the past two years; consistently losing events and even getting involved in a marijuana scandal.
