That hurts, gull!
I wonder about all these people that say this is a one time thing, he's a stand up guy, this is just a bump on the road, a little mistake, he can't have a drinking problem. Would they say the same thing if it was a pro baseball or basketball player? Or, would you say what we all say about the coddled professional athlete - "there they go again." Such a double standard. He broke the law, he committed a crime. The beloved star of swimming is no better now than the other pro sports athletes.
