Michael Phelps likes to smoke...

DavenportESQ · 02-01-2009, 09:11 AM

This story is a complete fabrication, and over exaggeration. anyone who knows anything knows that this guy probably gets drug tested more times than we can imagine. I am sure as soon as any news of this happend someone was knocking at his door with a specimen cup. Even out of season. The picture doesn't even look like him to me it just looks similar. Its a hard angle and would be tough to prove its him. You see a lot of "celeb nude" pictures where its just someone who looks like the celebrity.
I have a lot of friends who met him when he was in town and they said he was a really nice and overall just seemed like a normal college kid

1.Micheal Phelps coach is a native to the Columbia SC area.

2. A good friend of his who went to h.s together played soccer here.

I could care less one way or the other. Just a headline that caught my eye.
He had to know though if a picture like this got out it would at the least be a controversy.

I agree...there are a lot of athletes that do a lot worse. Sucks to see a good guy get caught up in something of that nature

There's nothing more obvious than the tone of an English tabloid writer. Marijuana has been demonized to such an absurd degree, it really makes me laugh.

As for Michael Phelps I've always gotten a huge D-Bag vibe from him.

I have lost all respect for this guy. First he gets a DUI and now he is smoking weed. Sorry, that is not the way to represent America. He is definitely not a role model.

Yeah, but if he played football or baseball it would be another story, of course.

SeanGAR · 02-02-2009, 09:24 PM

Looks like he picked up a new endorsement over this ....

just to ask, who do you consider to be a role model that is widely known?

"Michael is a role model, and he is well aware of the responsibilities and accountability that come with setting a positive example for others, particularly young people," the USOC said in a statement. "In this instance, regrettably, he failed to fulfill those responsibilities."

Athletes as role models......what a joke!!!

Role model? Let's all post a picture of this guy on our bedroom walls for our kids.
Calm, cool, collected, and put his life on the line to make sure all were out of that plane first, before him. That is a role model!!!

OH!!! BTW, was just doing his job according to him.

He wasn't before.

A guy that does nothing for others, just spends time in a pool so he can be faster than anybody else.

There are important problems in the world ... swimming fast doesn't help any of them.

Sorry fellas, but it looks like Phelps released a statement that the photos were real.
