Originally posted by kaffrinn Should Phelps be suspended or fined by USA swimming? I think he should...it could send a message to not only him, but the kids in USA swimming...and give him time to think about the seriousness of what he did.
People here are saying that Michael should be treated just like anyone else regarding his drunk driving, and I agree. However, being fined by USA Swimming would not be in line with this. As far as I know, USA Swimming has never fined any other swimmer for something like this, so it would be singling Michael out just because he's a star.
