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?

It really doesn't matter to me whether Phelps got caught on camera taking a hit from a bong and that won't change my admiration for him.
However companies should drop all of their endorsement contracts with Phelps (and other athletes as well) on the simple grounds that endorsements are a huge waste of money. I'm not going to be urged to buy anything just because a product (especially Speedo and their hyper inflated priced tech suits) has an athlete's endorsement.
The reality is that the money paid out in endorsements just drives up the cost without adding any value to the product. :2cents:
