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've been impressed by how many masters swimmers are recovering alcoholics, or admit to partying hard in their younger, wilder days, even while swimming at a pretty high level (not a pun, really). Many I've met have swapped the partying addiction for swimming, and appear to pursue it with the same fervor previously reserved for getting high. I'm wondering if swimming in particular attracts addictive personalities.
Oh, I so qualify.
Good post. I've felt the same way for a long time.
As for the rest of these folks on this particular discussion :argue: , they may just need to spend more time in the water and less time "addictively arguing". :) Can't they just get along? :afraid:
