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

I second knelsons reply about the BAC. Maryland has if I am correct two standards for drinking and driving a "DUI" that is for a .07 BAC and "DWI" .08 and up.. It sounds like it was a DUI cause thats whats being reported. What i've read so far is that hes accepted responsibly for this.. I have almost been killed or hurt over the years in near misses.. The people responsible.. Stupid drivers! Doing totaly stupid things like suddenly stopping on the interstate because they missed their exit. Phelps is a young man he made a mistake and he owned up to it. Now if we read again about some more of the same .. then he will have a problem and he will screw up his legacy but I doubt it.. hes a very dedicated fellow to his swimming.
