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?
I just happen to think that getting some pot that has been laced by Al Qaeda is extremely unlikely.
As for drugs being laced in general, I know that this happens. But on a large scale by Al Qaeda? Possible, but not probable. I suppose Al Qaeda could also lace peanut butter with some salmonella too.
It the remote possibility exists, then why risk it? Same reason I don't swim in the ocean by myself with a bleeding cut at the crack of dawn. If we are afraid of terrorists contaminating our food, doesn't it make sense to have this concern about the drug trade when the ones involved in it are less than honest?
At least I know the ingredients in my peanut butter generally get inspected and the source of some toxin is much easier to trace. Comical to think some drug dealer would announce a recall of stuff he sold should it turn out to be tainted.
In any case, you have to question the wisdom of any world class athlete that is reckless in what they ingest or inhale whether it be in the form of supplements, PEDs, or other drugs.
