He's sort of the "Teflon" athlete.

From what I've heard (from people who would know) the guy likes to have a good time. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it probably means he'll be in the headlines again at some point.

Lol like I said, he went to Ann Arbor. It's not just for overly smart nerds and minorities. It's a pretty big party school.

I wonder if he just wants to be a normal college student (alumni?) and is tired of being the perfect one that everyone expects the world of. Yeah he's making a shit ton of money, but I can't imagine the pressure that gets put on him.

I just started following him on Twitter.

HAAA. That's awesome. Let us know what he tweets.

When you're making that much money for something that you really don't ever have to do again (unlike pro sports stars with endorsements) you should have enough of a brain in your head to not hang out with idiots and/or avoid doing illegal things.

He should be a role model for Marion Jones.

Heh...

So much for the Teflon Athelete. SC weighing options on charging Phelps

Who gives a shit? God forbid someone smokes a little weed every now and then.

Agreed. It's not for me, but if someone who just spent the last year (4 years, 10 years...) busting his ass wants to take a little break and have some fun, I don't see anything wrong with that.

I am surprised that no one noted that NOW we understand why he ate 12000 calories a day...the munchies are a real killer!

So he was caught smoking some his Weedies... I hope it jump starts the legalization of weed again, because it is absolutely silly that it is illegal, and hell, dropping the funding from the prohibition, and adding the tax and sell of weed, it could totally make the govt. some money... If he was doing something massively hard core, doing lines or shootin' up, I would be concern, but its just herbal refreshment...

Phelps suspended by USA Swimming

So he can't compete for 3 months and they're cutting him off financially for 3 months.

Methinks Michael Phelps is devastated. [/sarcasm]

I'm sure 3 months isn't going to break him, but seriously...it's really not that serious for everyone to get all up in arms about this "scandal." There are more important things to focus on in the world.

DaemonSeid 02-06-2009 09:13 AM

Weed = 3 month suspension

Dogfighting = jail


LOL
