"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."

Well, first time it was driving while under the influence, now it's smoking weed...I wonder what's next and if there will be any type of punishment from the IOCC.

The Washington Post reported this morning that the IOC admonished Phelps but will not sanction him since Marijuana is illegal during competition only by their rules. The Post also questioned whether this will effect all of his endorsements.
