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?
Whew. I only read through 5 pages. People are UPSET.
For me, personally, this couldn't have come out at a more ironic time. My husband (police officer) just had to deal with a 12 year old selling pot to 10 year olds. Luckily, one of the 10 year olds mom's was monitoring the cell phone use. I NEVER thought I'd have to talk to my almost 9 year old about pot, etc. at this age. But we did, just last week. We have seen WAY too many lives ruined by drugs and we absolutely DO NOT want our children engaging in that behavior.
Now I need to explain further to my kids, as my daughter, 6, went around the house yelling, "Michael Phelps used drugs!" We SO talked him up during the Olympics and all about his achievements. "Rucy dear, we got some 'splainin to do!"
I just find it disappointing b/c swimming was FINALLY getting the "play" it deserves in the American public, and now the "face of American swimming" is caught smokin' dope.
