    Michael Phelps In Twouble

    Olympic great Michael Phelps has acknowledged "regrettable" behavior and "bad judgment" after a photo in a British newspaper showed him smoking marijuana.

    A newspaper in Britain shows American Olympic legend, Michael Phelps, SMOKING MARIJUANA.
    I'm a little afraid to show the picture here in the boards, but it can be seen in the news article above (Don't you dare ban me for posting a news article).
    He was attending a house party while visiting the University of South Carolina, and some prick thought it would be cool to take a picture of Phelps smoking.
    The validity of the picture has been confirmed, and Phelps describes his actions as "regrettable" behavior.
    The good news: "under World Anti-Doping Agency rules, an athlete is subject to sanctions only for a positive test during competition periods."
    As a big fan, I hope the best for Phelps and that his endorsements aren't too hard on him.

      He'll be clean by 2012. Let the kid celebrate. How is this news?

      Oh yeah, don't do drugs. They're against the law.

          Exactly my point....

          What does that have to do with anything?

            A mistake is a mistake. He cannot change it now.
            While I hope he does not do it again in the future, this is over dramatized.

              Uhhhh, it's news because he is a swimming legend and celebrated role model doing something ILLEGAL.
              If I didn't think it was news, would I have rushed from school to post it before someone else did?

                It doesn't have anything to do with what he's famous for. It's just prying into his personal life which isn't news, it's harassment.

                  Shouldn't even be considered a drug. Now if he was doing acid or something, that's a different story.

                    This is true.
                    Either way, the politically correct bashers of the world see it necessary to give him a slap on the wrist.
                    Also, this could cost him millions (or at least those he doesn't already have) in sponsorships.

                      I really don't think he will automatically stop. Seriously, sucks to be famous sometimes... he's not even dealing it and he's getting all this.

                        I really don't understand why you guys are trying to sympathize with him. He broke the law now he's being punished by the law. He must have known if he was caught doing this the media would have a field day, he's really only brought this upon himself.

                          He was bound to be caught doing something bad.

                            I call it an unjust law. You think the law is always right?

                            Let me put it in context: a couple hundred years ago, black people were like an iPod or a couch. They weren't people, and didn't have rights. They were property. That was law. Attempting to do things which were rightful to a free man was breaking the law. Was that right?

                            I don't think the law is always right, and in any case, it's true he should have kept in mind who he was and what his role in society was, but he took responsibility for what he did and is owning up to it. I could hardly fault the guy.
