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?
he is human and will make mistakes.
And I wasnt a Phelps apologist in 04 when he drove drunk. I had a good friend die in an accident with a drunk driver. I was livid, however, I also understand that he again is human and that many people have driven drunk.
Scary post.
I'm not going to tell my kids "he's human and make mistakes." I'm going to tell them he's a flaming idiot with no judgment and they could wreck their own lives getting caught smoking pot. I don't encourage any hero worship of athletes, but it's natural for kids to do it themselves.
Driving drunk is not "human" and way way more idiotic, reckless and awful than smoking pot.
