Considering his background, I would say he is on the Atlantid-Keltic-Nordid spectrum with some CM.

It's not unusual for that to happen to people with Irish blood.

He is definitly not British nor Anglo Saxon looking, but also not Irish
Not even Paleoatlantic. I guess he has a multiethnic background

He looks untypical as well. But this is not about being dark or light pigmented, its the whole facial structure

He's not quintessential looking, yet if I saw him on the street I wouldn't think of him as foreign. He could fit all along the Atlantic coast of Europe in my opinion, but western/Atlantic France and Britain would be my first guesses. There are some phenotypes resembling him yet not acromegalic as his. He definitely has a pathologic excess of growth hormone... Atlantid/Cro-Magnid + excess growth hormone.

I don't think he looks portuguese, he's too weird looking. Weird in the sense that he would look different from most.
Here he is compared with some portuguese swimmers

My sentiments exactly.
He looks like a lot of very tall and goofy-looking Dinarids (especially Balkan basketball players).

He looks like a Dinaricized Nordo-Mediterranean. I have always thought he was probably of British Isles descent, and according to the OP, looks like I am right. He just assimilated some of that Bell-Beaker cragginess into the normal Nordo-Med Brit type.

Pred. Atlanto-Nordid for sure, some minor Cromagnid influence.
Acromegaloid indeed.

He's certainly been given human growth hormone during his early teens to improve his skills by enlarging his feet, hands and height. He looks totally fake and shouldn't be allowed to take part in events such as the Olympics. And they raised suspicions on the young female Chinese atlethe... Lol.

Could be said of 80% of professional athletes in reality.
In this day and age even golfers and baseball players are juicing as are female athletes (an emerging trend).
The ones who get caught just don't know how to cycle properly (usually younger) and/or can't afford the undetectable stuff.
It really needs to be exposed in a much more public way because at this rate, doping itself may as well be an Olympic event; considering there's athletes out there taking inhumane amounts of PED's with testosterone ratios that could kill a normal person and yet they still manage to live and breathe and compete in physically-demanding events while dealing with and masking serious side-effects.

I think he is atlantid with some keltid influence (an ugly one) I don't think he has dinarid influence I agree that he has the characteristics of someone who has taken HGH, tall, big hands, fee, ears, strong brow, deep voice and slowing of speech. Some dinarids have some of these features naturally but michael phelps has all of them.
