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

:confused:I just read on Yahoo that Michael is not denying the accusations, and he says he is sorry to have disappointed everyone, especially his Mom. He further states he is just a 23 year old and he made a bad decision. He said he will never do anything like this again! I give the kid credit for being honest (he may regret it when his sponsors are through w/him). As a mom of 1 current and 2 other former teen-agers I will say he could have done a lot worse. I seriously doubt he has a drug problem at this point, and maybe this unfortunate situation will serve to remind him that his super-star status brings alot of responsibility with it. I think Michael Phelps did a great job handling himself, the stress, and all the publicity during the Olympics. I felt he represented himself and USA Swimming as a true champion. I hope he/his reputation makes it through this situation; even superstars deserve a little understanding. Good luck Michael.
