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?
Come on, Speedo didn't sign him because he is a roll model - they signed him because he swims fast. And kids don't want to buy the latest LZR because Michael Phelps is a good person, they buy it because they see what Phelps was able to accomplish using that suit.
There are excuses and then their is perspective. He tried pot - there is no indication he is a "pot head" or he most likely would have tested as such on one of his many drug tests. I believe someone tried to compare him the Michael Vick - are you kidding me? This would barely constitute a misdemeanor charge, assuming he was not carrying around a one pound sack of grass in his back pocket.
