Per his official website, Spitz is self-employed as a corporate spokesperson and motivational speaker. He is now also dabbling in the "water business," as he calls it, and is in negotiations to build a water-bottling facility on aquifer-rich land that he and a business partner own. He travels the world delivering about 25 lectures a year. Foster, was released in July In July he endorsed Istanbul 's bid to host the Summer Olympics.
His hobbies include sailing, skiing and collecting art. In an era when other swimmers, male and female, were shaving body hair, he swam with a moustache.
When asked why he initially grew one he stated "I grew the moustache because a coach in college said I couldn't grow one. Mark Spitz is quoted as saying, "When I went to the Olympics, I had every intention of shaving the moustache off, but I realized I was getting so many comments about it—and everybody was talking about it—that I decided to keep it. I had some fun with a Russian coach who asked me if my moustache slowed me down. I said, 'No, as a matter of fact, it deflects water away from my mouth, allows my rear end to rise and make me bullet-shaped in the water, and that's what had allowed me to swim so great.
According to a Sports Illustrated article, on February 14, , after talking about shaving off his moustache for a year, he finally did. When he was asked why he shaved it off he responded "well, one, I'm not swimming anymore; two, it started to turn gray; and three, my wife had never seen me, nor my family, without the moustache. I'm happy [without it]. After retirement, Spitz was diagnosed with acid reflux disease , a condition from which his physician thinks he suffered throughout his career. He has also reported having high cholesterol and other chronic health issues.
In , Spitz was accused of product placement during the medal ceremony. Following the meter freestyle race Spitz arrived to obtain his gold medal barefoot and carrying his shoes.
After the anthem played, he picked up his shoes and waved to the crowd. The Soviets saw this as product placement. When questioned by the IOC, Spitz explained that the gesture was innocent, the shoes were old and he was not paid. The IOC cleared him of any wrongdoing. Spitz felt snubbed by not being asked to attend the Summer Olympics to watch Michael Phelps attempt to break his seven gold medal record. In an article, he is quoted as saying, "I never got invited. You don't go to the Olympics just to say, I am going to go.
Especially because of who I am. I am going to sit there and watch Michael Phelps break my record anonymously? That's almost demeaning to me. It is not almost—it is. Spitz has stated that he has no hard feelings towards Phelps.
He is, however, unhappy that he was not invited to the Summer Olympics. As a result, Spitz refused to attend the games. Some of them are dead. But they invited the other ones to go to the Olympics, but not me," he said. It's about time that somebody else takes the throne.

And I'm very happy for him. I really, truly am I was working with a corporate sponsor who elected not to bring their US contingent over to China, and they piled on more work for me here in the United States, which was great. So I wasn't able to get to the Olympics and watch Michael in the first couple of days. And they thought, some of these reporters, that I was supposed to be invited by some entity, and I told them that that wasn't really the case, that doesn't happen that way. And so, I'm sort of disappointed that I wasn't there, but, you know, that interview somehow took a different turn, and I've done hundreds and hundreds of them and I've been true to form about the way I feel about Michael, and he's doing a great job for the United States and inspiring a lot of great performances by the other team members.
Spitz paid this compliment to Phelps just two hours after his record-tying seventh gold medal during a live joint interview with Bob Costas:. You know, Bob and Michael, I wondered what I was going to say at this monumental time, when it would happen and who I would say it to, and of course I thought I was going to say it to you for some time now. But, it's the word that comes to mind, "epic". What you did tonight was epic, and it was epic for the whole world to see how great you really are. I never thought for one moment that you were out of that race and contention, because I watched you at Athens win the race by similar margins, and 18 months ago at the World's by similar margins.

And, you know, that is a tribute to your greatness. And now the whole world knows. We are so proud of you Michael here in America, and we are so proud of you and the way that you handle yourself, and you represent such an inspiration to all the youngsters around the world. You know, you weren't born when I did what I did, and I'm sure that I was a part of your inspiration, and I take that as a full compliment. And they say that you judge one's character by the company you keep, and I'm happy to keep company with you.
And you have a tremendous responsibility for all those people that you are going to inspire over the next number of years, and I know that you will wear the crown well. In , Spitz allegedly claimed that he had seen an email from Omega, the official timekeeper, that Phelps had lost the closely contested m butterfly final in Mark Spitz has been consistent in criticism of both swimming's world bodies, FINA and the IOC, in their incomplete attempts to keep drugs out of the sport.
He has felt that not enough has been done to monitor and encourage drug-free participation.
In he criticized FINA for its "embarrassing" attempts to stamp out drug abuse, urging them to test for all known drugs. During a radio interview in Australia, Spitz was quoted as saying "They don't want to test for everything because there's tremendous pressure from the television networks because they want the television to have athletic competitions with the world record holders there for the finals. They want the medals not to be tainted in their value of accomplishment by winning them, and it's all about ratings and commercial selling of time and about money.
And an International Olympic Committee has got their hand in the pockets of the network television people, so there's a tremendous conflict of interest in what they should do and what they're doing. In August , the Los Angeles Times reported, that Spitz continued to discuss drug testing and was saying "the IOC has sponsors who demand a good show.
Television pays the IOC for the rights to that good show, and its sponsors want that too. Drug news and drug distractions are not a good show.
