I don't know if this story is true or not, but figured it would be of interest to everyone here.

What's done is done. We don't need to drag him through the mud because of his mistake. I swear some people make first time DUI offenders out to be satan reincarnated. It's bad, yes. But I think it is safe to say that he learned from it and won't do it again. I don't think any kids will look at Phelps and say "Wow, DUI sounds like fun, let's go get loaded and drive around town". As far as him being fined by USA Swimming, that is ridiculous.
