Michael Phelps and a bong? Is there any truth to this?

are we sure that's Phelps?
If true, he seems to have a habit of screwing up in the very next Novembers after Olympics...
anyone here from the UK? How reputable is "news of the world"?
How could he be so careless?
Fox News has a story with a statement issued by Phelps.
It's like he says, he's 23 years old....not that I am condoning drug use, but he is still a kid. He's a celebrity and everything he does will be scrutinized by everyone. But as the "face" of swimming, what message is he sending to the kids who idolized him?
It is troubling to me that he has stated numerous times in the past (and even in his book) that he doesn't put anything bad into his body and that he welcomes drug and doping tests. Let's see how this story changes how welcome he is to testing in the future.
