Pretty stupid of him. It's not like olympic stars have unlimited time to cash in on their fame.
Nice bong though.
lol
Taint
The US Olympics Committee, who have pledged to clamp down on drug use, refused to comment, as did USA Swimming and Phelps’ coach Bob Bowman.
More surprising still was the World Anti-Doping Agency’s refusal to comment, given that they introduced the four-year ban on sport’s drug users.
Phelps, who earned £4million last year in endorsements, has resumed training for the 2012 games.
But there were fears about his commitment when, weeks after the bong incident, he began dating former stripper Caroline Pal.
Phelps is represented by marketing giant Octagon, which works with huge brands such as Mastercard and HSBC. They admitted proven cannabis use would be “a major taint” on Phelps’ character.
Spokesman Clifford Bloxham offered us an extraordinary deal not to publish our story, saying Phelps would become our columnist for three years, host events and get his sponsors to advertise with us.
In return, he asked that we kill Phelps’ bong picture. Bloxham said: “It’s seeing if something potentially very negative for Michael could turn into something very positive for the News of the World.”
He stressed that the swimmer had taken 1,500 drug tests and never failed one.
Until now?
yea
he admitted do it
smooth move Phelps
you just lost yourself some serious cash in endorsements
sure, you might be an olympic star now...but look at bruce jenner
Does the rest of the world suck that bad that they let a pothead kick their ass for 8 golds?
I'm sick of these gangster hood rat athletes who don't appreciate what they've been given.
I bet his credit score blows

Yes! Phelps is the man for this. Oh yeah, I actually created a thread for this in "other sports". Merge or w/e, or close if that's the policy. Here she blows..

He's the man? Really?
Let me ask you. How much of your salary and reputation would you be willing to give up for a bong rip? Just curious.
im sure he'll be hurting after this one
then his credit score will fall real low
poor bas
Man he will live in infamy for winning eight gold medals. Additionally, he has made a fair chunk of money already from endorsements. I bet he could retire right now. I could give two flying s what other people think of me. That about answers your questions.
Oh, and i'm sure he has had a past history with M.J, so i'm pretty sure he didn't just decide to up and smoke after winning eight gold medals. Even if he did, that's all the more reason to do so. There isn't much higher to go after getting eight gold medals, he should just keep hitting the ceiling on a daily basis to extend the moment. WooOoOOoOo Phelps!
eh wgaf.
The man is basically AquaMan. He's already made 10 mil+ so if I were him, I wouldn't care. I doubt the target audience for his endorsed products care much either.
Problem with many of these young athletes who experience success at such an early age is they aren't very emotionally mature. They don't realize what an impact they can have.
He was probably bored when he did that.
He's Human afterall.
when you win a record number of gold medals you can do w/e the you want

Dumbass.
who gives a , I think it's great
helps the message that the occasional weed is no big deal at all. it clearly hasn't hampered his success.
