This had me rolling laughing. I can't stand this dude (but then I think the Olympics is a giant waste of money and resources in general). 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.

At least when there's not a CAMERA around.

He should be a role model for Marion Jones.
Heh...

He's ugly.
I've never smoked weed. I think it's silly that people on the radio today are debating whether marijuana should be legal. It's illegal. Get over it...unless we're going to have an all-out discussion of the law and why substances like tobacco are legal.
On that note, he got caught. He will pick his social circles more carefully now.

I feel bad for him. He just wants to swim. Now he's caught up in all this publicity and his mistakes are front page news. Let's just let him be 23.

So being 23 means being above certain laws?
That's interesting.
I agree that this shouldn't receive too much attention. I think they should let the law handle it as it would any other person.

Yes. That is exactly what I meant.

Or did you mean the bottom line of my post? That would be better. He can be treated as any other 23 yo who broke the law.

If I'd meant the bottom line of your post, I would have referenced it.

So you did mean that being 23 makes one above the law? That's unfortunate. I thought you were attempting sarcasm.

I don't think it will impact his endorsements. It will all blow over pretty quickly.
Look at Kate Moss. One day she was snorting a line, the next day she was representing all of the lines. Sure H&M dropped her but the major designer endorsements she picked up after rehab netted her some big accounts.

He also had a DUI when he was 19 and that didn't appear to hurt his image or his endorsements.

And it looks like this won't either: http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slu...v=ap&type=lgns .
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.
