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?
Seriously. Who cares about this?
If you have a kid that admires him, the only thing you can do is to try and explain that life isn't black and white. Ppl are human, they make mistakes. You and I may or may not agree with them, but nobody is perfect.
The challenge is to honor and recognize everybody's faults and weaknesses.
Well, amazingly enough, we agree on one thing: I don't give a toss that he smoked pot and pass no moral judgment. I wish he wasn't so abundantly stupid and reckless to do it publicly. No brain cell activity going on whatsoever.
Why do people with no kids always feel compelled to give parenting advice though? And I don't see any value in "honoring" faults that include lying and cheating or engaging in illegal behavior. Maybe "honor" just isn't the right word choice?
And my 14 year old knew about it before this thread was even started ...
