Phelps Dives Deeper into the Pseudoscience of Cupping | Skeptical Inquirer
Phelps has been a proponent of cupping for at least the past decade without publicly endorsing a brand. He’s already sponsored by a litany of high-end companies, including Subway, Visa, Speedo, PowerBar, Under Armour, and AT&T, no doubt with many more waiting in the wings. And with a net worth of around $100 million, he doesn’t need the money. So, what motivates someone like Phelps to throw the full weight of his reputation behind Flying Fish Cupping, an American startup with a rudimentary website and a single device in its catalog? And why now? I must assume he genuinely believes in the product—in its capacity to mitigate soreness, heal the muscles, and promote recovery. He may be getting high on his own supply, so to speak.
