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?
Really, it's unfortunate, but how many very successful money-making young male athletes out there don't make stupid and impulsive decisions a lot of the time? Thinking it's rare for pro athletes out there to party or smoke dope or date strippers is naive. That doesn't make it admirable or smart. It does make it less than totally shocking. I know we'd like to think swimming is different, but I'm not sure it is...
