They can ban him from the olympics for doing MJ? wtf... what about all the athletes from Jamaica and the Netherlands?
I'm guessing they're smart enough to not let their friends take pictures whenever they feel like taking a bong rip.
Yeah but it is legal in their countries...
Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps admitted to "regrettable" behavior Sunday and vowed it wouldn't happen again after a British newspaper published a photograph of the swimmer smoking a marijuana pipe.
"I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment," the record-setting American athlete said in a statement issued Sunday.
"I'm 23 years old, and despite the successes I have had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner that people have come to expect from me," Phelps said. "For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public -- it will not happen again."
Phelps won a record eight gold medals at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, four years after he won six gold medals at the Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. He has received numerous corporate endorsements totaling millions of dollars.
His statement was also posted on his Facebook page, followed by comments of both support and admonishment from fans.
In a separate statement, the U.S. Olympic Committee said it was "disappointed in the behavior recently exhibited by Michael Phelps."
"Michael is a role model, and he is well aware of the responsibilities and accountability that come with setting a positive example for others, particularly young people," the committee said. "In this instance, regrettably, he failed to fulfill those responsibilities."
However, it added, "Michael has acknowledged that he made a mistake and apologized for his actions. We are confident that, going forward, Michael will consistently set the type of example we all expect from a great Olympic champion."
The picture, billed as an exclusive by the tabloid News of the World, showed Phelps using a water pipe during what it said was a November party at the University of South Carolina. In 2004, Phelps was arrested on charges of driving under the influence in Salisbury, Maryland. Phelps pleaded guilty and received 18 months probation in that incident, issuing an apology afterward.
"Getting into a car with anything to drink is wrong. It's dangerous and it's unacceptable. I'm 19, but was taught that no matter how old you are, you take responsibility for actions, which I do," Phelps told ESPN.
The Olympic swimmer is one of 12 Olympic athletes that have pledged to "My Victory," an initiative launched last year by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to keep compe ive sports clean of cheating and drug use

Omg People Smoke Weed????? No Way!!!!!
smoke weed everyday!
and for all those who bash people for smoking herb... wake the up and realize you ain't so in' saint either and that the alcohol that ruins our society, the government that drugs your kids with speed, and the occasional pill poppin' mother who just wants to clean house or relieve some stress is worse then some swimming pothead.
it's ridiculous when i read/hear others down smokers because they are getting high. in' get off your high horse mother ers!
Phelps' next endorsement deal...
Which Aquaman are we talking here? Short hair, joke character, or long haired, bearded, cuts-off-his-own-hand-to-save-his-son-then-replaces-it-with-a-hook character?
I bet he can hold a hit with the best of them.
Somebody was saying that he came into that party ripped and out of control already. He probably didn't know what the was going on around him. He just doesn't seem to give a crap though...
What kind of bong is that?
the british paper which published that ing picture. why didn't those british MFers take pictures of their prince when he is bathing and post them publicly? why the F doesn't them pay more attention to the murder of his former wife?
I bet those british MFers are holding hundreds of pictures of their prince starking on s or his two sons masterbating while watching "monster's ball", why the F didn't they publish those pictures?
It's the basic human rights to determin whether to smoke and what to smoke, it doesn't make any difference whether to smoke roor or common cigaret.
I'm sick of these people on their soapboxes telling people how to feel and act...
Yeah, I'm pretty sure my thoughts have been covered in this topic by my pro-cannabis brethren.
Like all you critical mother ers haven't lit up a spliff before. Get the outta here.
Not the weeds!
Thems the devil!
Our society is ing stupid.
He should have just eaten a brownie. Then they would have just thought he was a fat ass.
That's a more progressive view than you held a year ago.
And I thought you weren't doing this anymore? Only when you're not quoting someone?-Mars
