Phelps Is a Pot-Head. He didn't let it 'bong' his speed down.

look at chris sharma, hes arguably the best rock climber alive. and he is stoned far beyond belief all the time....

I lost some respect for Phelps after I found this out. I liked how he said he would get 8 gold medals then he got them. But were all imperfect humans, so you have to expect this kind of thing.

Next thing you know it'll turn out that he's having pre-marital sex. Or paying a lot for car insurance.

Don't you mean?: This just shows you can become perhaps the most successful athlete in world history and still smoke weed. We have no proof this wasn't his first time...

Wait, doesn't smoking weed make you emotional?

I don't see anything wrong with how I worded it. I wasn't implying that he necessarily had a weed-smoking habit.

How do we know? Of course, my question probably wouldn't even come up if he weren't admitting to pot use.

The question nobody seems to be asking, which is hugely relevant to the "athlete" part of all this, is whether he used any during training or competing at the Olympics? That's a bit different from him doing it yesterday, for example.

Yes, he may take a hit with his sponsors for this, especially if he has contracts that include wording on whether or not he engages in any illegal activities. Also he loses points as a role model.

I have to agree on the intentional inhaling of smoke. Isn't that what a lot of firefighters die from? If anything, pot vs. cigarettes is *less bad for you*, certainly not "better".

Haha I read this funny

I did too pele.

Good evening Mr Phelps. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to play down the bad publicity and hope it goes away quietly. Should you be caught smoking pot again, or doing anything else not becoming of a sports role model, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions; this post will self-destruct in 5 seconds. Good luck Michael.

Ha! I won't claim I noticed that at the time. Should have said *from* his sponsors...

Pele, Your's was the second of three jokes. Don't take me so seriously.

Just read that so far, Speedo and Omega see this as a non-issue.

At least he'll still be able to pay the bills.

I'm sorry Steve, I won't take you so seriously next time.

Phelps could have swam faster if he didn't smoke pakalolo.

I bet he can take BIG bong hits with those lungs.

Too bad society makes him feel bad enough to have to make apologies.

Legalize it,
and millions of athletes will advertise it.

But like any drug: Please use responsibly.(Like sugar or cheese, which can be deadly drugs.)

That seems to be a very interesting book!
If I find it in some website, I'll buy it.

Did u know that if they legalized weed, america wuld make $35 Billion off of it? Thats enuf to save the economy probally

Millions of athletes? probally not, maybe a few im sure it wuld take a while to get a big all star athlete to do it, but im sure u can get alot of celebrities and rappers to do it
