Michael Phelps' 'Girlfriend' Doubts Olympian Still Interested With Her Following Revelation; Swimmer To End Hiatus Via Rio De Janeiro Olympics?

Michael Phelps' supposed gilfriend Taylor Lianne Chandler has revealed that she wasn't born a girl and now, she thinks that the Olympian will leave her after spilling her secret. Meanwhile, the gold medalist swimmer will reportedly end his hiatus by joining the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

"I am probably going to lose him because he is a brand that his team wants to protect and things since he went to rehab came to my attention that didn't put him or our relationship in the best light," she said, according to MailOnline.

In her Facebook, she posted that she was born David Roy Fitch.

Michael Phelps' "girlfriend" is an intersex, claimed MailOnline, meaning she had "male genitalia, but no testicles, while also having a uterus and no ovaries." By the time she reached her teenage years, she took testosterone blockers and changed her name. By the time she's around her 20s, she had corrective surgery to get rid of her genitals.

"I was never a man, never lived as a man. No one can say they knew me as a man or produce a photo of me as a man," she posted. "There are people that remember me as an androgynous child at times because of what was forced upon me."

With her revelation, she received hurtful comments which really hit Michael Phelps' "girlfriend" to the core: "Two steps forward and 100 steps backwards. That is what life feels like to me right now. In a world of educated people that had all the facts of intersex and what it means and then to sell a magazine say Michael Phelps is dating a MAN. I have cried now for an hour, thrown up anything in my system till I dry heaved. I just can't believe this is happening in 2014!"

Meanwhile, swimmer Ryan Lochte revealed to USA Today that he has no doubt Michael Phelps will return for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

"The No. 1 thing he's doing is making sure he's healthy," Lochte said.

Michael Phelps was served with a suspension following a drunken driving incident on September 30.

Ryan Lochte added: "There is no doubt in my mind that he'll be back in the water. He loves this sport. He loves the excitement of getting on the blocks to race. ... Once you're in that racing mode, it's hard to get rid of. I think that's why he came back. He missed that excitement -- racing the best people in the world.

Hopefully, Michael Phelps won't be too distracted by the revelation of her "girlfriend" Taylor Lianne Chandler as he resumes his training.
