He looks monstrous. Does anyone recall if he was this muscular while
he was an up and coming swimmer?
The guy is ridiculously muscular.

He has been regularly progressing - in performance and in shape - for the
last 10 years or so.
If you want to have a look at his past performances:
http://www.ffnatation.fr/webffn/nat_rankings.php?go=nag&idlng=fra&idrch_id=69891&idprf=all

He is 1.96m tall, and weighs 90 kg (vs. 1.96m and 69 kg in 2000).

He was quite ill in 2004 (mononucleosis - so he couldn't go to Athens), but
has been well recovering since that time, doing lot of dry land training -
which explains the bulging muscles. I believe this will be the shape of the
new (LZR powered) sprinter generation.

And he is the best in the world!
