AQUAGEEK, to the point that you said it does not matter if we personally did something wrong of a kind or not you are definitely wrong.So what if we have another star do that kinda thing, would you listen to what Phelps has to say?If he starts talking about how wrong that is and all that wouldn't you be like:"Hey, kid, didn't you do the same, do you even have the right to say anything?
So, AQUAGEEK, before you present your eloquent speeches, think about what you have done in your life(just reminding my previous point again), 'cause I am sure you are not a saint and maybe should stay quiet about the case.
Oh yeah, and I also wanted to let you know that you extracted the wrong ideas from a lot of other peoples' replies, claiming that we are excusing Phelps.Well, read them again, because we are not excusing him(noone said it was ok to do what he did) but we were trying to wait for all the facts first before jumping into conclusions, one, and two(which is my point), let Phelps learn his lesson himself, your angry ramblings won't turn the time back.
Come to think about it ... are you jealous of Phelps or something, of his career success or his endorsemets(you were really sarcastic about his possible losing some of sponsors - "poor little Mikey"), becaus that would explain why you are trying to tear him apart.
And the more often you bark back with your replies the more I get to think that you might have some anger management problems or are just a pathological argueholic, where regardless of what people say you'll find fault with it.We are different, obviously and we all have our own views and opinions and I respect yours, but listen to the others, too, and don't get nasty by saying you are DISGUSTED with some people here, 'cause that is inappropriate and immature to say- we are all grown-ups and should act accordingly(back to my point of the necessity to clean up our own act before moving on to the others and looks like that's what you need to take care of).
I know you are going to post something again on this matter, I will just stay with my opinion, because all these endless ramblings are not going to change the situation , help our sport or Michael Phelps, so I will just make sure I do not do anything stupid like that(one less trouble-maker on the road) and suggest that everyone else start with themselves, too - that's the only way to make it safe, since many seem to get carried away by blaiming others and forget about what they do themselves and therefore sooner or later you'll find yourself in the same position getting blamed by the same kinda people who like to blame others - vicious circle ...
Peace.
