Due to the injury of his hand and shoulder, Paul Hamm[69] withdrew from the Olympic team on July 28, 2008 and was replaced with alternate Raj Bhavsar. Additionally, Morgan Hamm withdrew from competition on August 7 due to an ankle injury, being replaced by Alexander Artemev.[70]

Modern pentathlon

On the men's team, both Sam Sacksen and Dennis Bowsher were both offered bids by the UIPM, modern pentathlon's world governing body. Since one man was already on the squad, only one other slot was already available. The U.S. used World Cup rankings to determine who would be on the squad and who would be named alternate. Bowsher appealed the decision but his claim was denied.[76]

Swimming
The United States Olympic Team Trials were held on June 29 – July 6 in Omaha, Nebraska. The U.S. will send two people in each individual discipline and up to six people for the 4x100 freestyle relays and 4x200 freestyle relays.[80] On August 1, Jessica Hardy, who had qualified in the 100 metre breaststroke and the 50 metre freestyle, withdrew from the Olympic team after a failing an anti-doping test at the national trials. Hardy opted to pull out rather than contesting the test results at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.[81]
