i will try to not support any sponsor that drops him over this, and I didn’t even like him much when he was in the Olympics.
Count me in the “I don’t give a fuck about occasional recreational drug use if you’re a productive member of society” group.
Wonder how it feels to know that a bong hit cost you millions of dollars.
What a morAn. You’ve worked harder in your young life training than any of us on this board combined will ever work. And now you pissed away a bunch of the reward because you were dumb enough to be photographed doing an illegal drug.
EDIT: And I don’t give a shit about pot smoking. What bothers me is when your livelihood depends on your public image that you would be dumb enough to be photographed doing something like this.
When your making millions of dollars just to have your picture taken with products then a picture like this is meaningful.
I’m not going to argue that its bad for you or that it “destroys motivation” but you must admit that for Phelps to acknowledge the risk and consequences of smoking and doing it anyway it sure proves that pot does makes you completely retarded.
The kid didn’t have to do anything for years and years to come and he would remain financially secure. He never has to swim again… all he had to do was maintain the qualities that make you a “role model” by following the law.
i heard he picked up roor as a sponsor
Not just that:
44: Cocaine
43: Cocaine & Alcoholic
42: Marijuana
You’re right: it’s not like our last few Presidents have been straight-edge.
this is, however, proof that smoking Marijuana makes you stupid… “get a pic of me hitting this shit dude!”
Or maybe it was “Hey, i can sneak a camera phone pic of this when he’s looking the other way and im pretending to text, and sell it to tabloids for millions of dollars.”
U of SC has some crazy parties. I was actually committed to attending there and had accepted a scholarship for 2 weeks, after i did a weekend visiting the campus. 
Probably more likely. However it doesnt make the bong hit any less retarded. Welcome to the 21st century, everything is filmed.
Exactly. Doing it anywhere in public is a risk not worth taking. Worth it for you or I? Sure. Worth it to someone who’s massive income is dependent on being mr clean cut, role model olympic hero? Definitely not.
It’s ok, I heard after Kellogg dropped him Weedies agreed to pick him up.
just legalize weed already.
