he might not qualify. he smoked a marijuanna pipe. probably made him slow and stupid like everyone thinks. MARIJUANA DOSENT KILL. HATE AND STUPIDITY KILLED MORE PEOPLE
you honestly think he is not smoking pot with a water pipe?
even if you're talking of legality issues it still won't matter if there is smoke. they can't charge him anything serious + hes rich so... if he denied it or accepted it'd be fine either way, but accepting it gave him a better view from the public
the only mistake Michael made was apologizing for smoking pot! He could have helped more people start seeing the truth about pot instead of kissing the asses of th politcal paranoids. He had a chance to stand up for something even better than a chest full of medals....the TRUTH. He bailed. Meanwhile...how many people died from cigarette caused lung cancer TODAY? Took BOTH my parents. Apparently even MP could not swim through the LIES and be a role model for the TRUTH re: Marijuana. Sad.
So if something is illegal it must be wrong?...like when slaves would try to escape from their owners during the american age of slavery? Btw, the most dangerous drug in terms of fatalities, alcohol, is legal.
Dude, don't go at blakebellamy like that... I have have no problem with marijuana use, although I personally don't do it myself. Many of my friends and close relatives do it, usually around me, but I choose not to...people make choices. You also have to consider blake's age (based on grammar and spelling). Most young people are quick to state they hate drugs when they are younger and haven't been exposed, don't knock them for that. Not defending hating drugs, but the opinion shouldnt be attacked
yeah look at that big eared mullatto bitch obama ...he is robbing the country with his phony spending incentive package and he admitts to smoking pot. no one gives a shit about that
Dude People try it out, No big deal! I bet alot of people have tryed it who are close to u.... Like ur parents maybe? It's a mistake not the biggest deal like people try to make it..
Unfortunately enough we live in an irrational world where everyone is criticized about how poorly one conducts his own behavior..Honestly though, this is a great way of bringing intelligence and ability into the wonderful world of THC. I don't see Mr. Phelps as a bad person, just like me 100% motivation plus a coexisting relationship with marijuana. Recipe for Success...As If the 8 gold wasn't enough evidence :)
wow! there some crazy comments out there. . . how did it get so far from the issue? A young kid, super talented decided to experiment with pot, who knows for how long, and got caught? Whats the big deal? Is it that he could be that great of an athlete and, until now what we all thought was a great person, and also, oh my god!, smoke marijuana? I think there more important issues to get bent out of shape about.
Personally, I have no problem with what Phelps did. He smoked a recreational drug that has lower impact on the long term human condition than many of our legal drugs; tobacco and alcohol included. It isn't a performance enhancer either. Ask yourself this, if pot was legal would this be an issue?
phelps gets away with stuff because he is a national hero. But he should realize that this mistake has made alot of his younger followers think that maybe they also need to use drugs to become champions...
Get this guy some help... He can afford it. Before he turns into a dumb ass and throws all his talents away....
Actually it shows that you can smoke weed in moderation and still be an amazing athlete. His prior drunk driving shows that you can be an amazing athlete and be a jerk. What all this shows is that we should stop encouraging our children to look up to athletes whose accomplishments are meaningless and don't contribute anything to society except to encourage and inspire people who would also like to dedicate their life to meaningless accomplishments. Who cares what Phelps does, it doesn't matter.
leave him alone!!!! I can totally understand why people are talking about this so much but come on! he's 23..probably never smoked weed before and decided to live a little....damn he's 100 time's more healthy than anyone who is comnplaning about it. I can understand steroids but weed would only hurt hime so why suspend him, he would only be hurting himself....
Damn white people with their free passes. Underage Phelps arrested 4 drunk driving in 2004, "Oops! Sorry, I won't make the same mistake again!" And no he didn't make the same mistake, he decided 2 get high out of a bong. "Srry, the USA suspension is fair!" Must b great 2 b white in America, all the damn free passes! & thanks 4 ruining the image of Baltimore my home town, Phelps, dumbass white idiot.
If u wasn't so racist, u wouldn't b supporting this pothead. what if it was ?Snoopy Doggy Dogg, then u couldn't wait 2 hang him from the nearest tree! Admit it B4TT3RY! ADMIT U WOULD LYNCH SNOOP DOOGY DOGg IF U HAD THE CHANGE, JUST ADMIT IT U RACIST!
You really don't know me. I bet I have more of Snoop's albums than you. I guarantee it. Admit it you racist, you just don't like white people regardless of how they think of you.
Aw, man get outta here. U ain't got no Snop Dogg album. I got Snoop Dogg's Doggstyle, very 1st album! I bet u don't have that! If u don't have his very 1st album then that makes u a racist!
This guy is accomplished, has apologized , and has lost endorsement deals. I think thats more then enough punishment for smoking out of a bong. The guy didn't kill anyone or even take any enhancing drugs. Get over it please. He has suffered enough over nothing much. As far as him being a role model , Parents should stop letting the tv and internet be a babysitter and actually spend some time with their kids. Then maybe the kids would look up to the parents instead of celebrities.
No mistake here!!! You smoke fucking Right!!!!!! dont let anyone bring you down!!! cause not one of those fat fucking media bitches could ever win 8 gold medals !!!!
Let him live his life. He has a talent. Plain and Simple. I understand if he loses his endorsements due to illegal activity, that is understandable. But this role model bullshit has to quit. People are people. It's not a "mistake" he is young and he wanted to smoke some weed. That is the problem with my country, the people. Talent is a blessing, yet jealous people like to place talented people under a microscope and expose them to feel better about their mundane selves.
Some of you guys are idiots. Pot doesn't make you better, if anything, it makes you worse. But still, real stupid move by Phelps, he thinks that since he's Michael Phelps he can smoke pot? He may be a great athlete, but he's an idiot.
To anyone who smokes anything, STOP! Are you trying to kill yourself?!? Notice how our bodies start to cough when we're exposed to smoke, it's telling you HELLO what you're breathing in is not beneficial for your health!!! You're pathetic if you waste your money killing yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it's bullcrap that this man can break an assload of world records, revolutionize the sport, and singlehandedly steal the Olympic spotlight, and not even be allowed to just chill out, relax and smoke a freaking joint.
I think that his awesomeness proves that marijuana use is not positively related to human deficiency.
micahel phelps is mah god.. i got fucked for smokin weed and my rents tell me its fucking my life up... HE WON 8 GOLD MEDALS AND SMOKES WEED.. you can tell that he has been blazin for a while
Yeah. I'd agree with your "rents" on this one. I'd say getting involved in any kind of substance usage when you're only fifteen years old qualifies as "fucking your life up."
Way to go there, champ.
Oh yeah. Do you really mean to suggest that smoking weed has somehow improved his swimming ability? Pardon my skepticism and laughter.
Swimming does not make one a hero, landing planes that are crashing with no fatalities makes one a hero and I still wouldnt care if that person was a pot smoker either unless he was flying the plane while high.
Technically he hasn´t done it again, now hes a pothead and he won´t do that again. Next time he´ll do some heroin and get caught and he will say that he won´t do it again and then it will be horse tranquilizers and he´ll get caught and he´ll say he won´t doit again and then it will be... Thank God he isn´t Black, he´d be in jail right now!!!
In 1968 Mexico City Olympics, 2 African American Runners, one a Gold medalist and the other a Bronze medalist, Tommie Smith and John Carlos; lifted up a Black glove in solidarity with a political belief. They were stripped of their medals and banned from competing ever again. The fact is that the white and the rich can get away with anything in America! Wheres the change?
Let´s go forward, right. Thats what they said when they pardoned Nixon, and now they´re letting the Bush Genocide slide and now it´s the token swimmer. When will you learn. And I say it again, if he were black he would be in jail. They would probably find some chic to say they got raped by him too.
Lets go foward ?, how can you make a statement like that ? This had nothing to do with the color of his skin . Thats a racist statement ."WE AS AMERICANS" shall move foward . I am white and I am proud that I voted for OBAMA, I am proud of our black president. To say if he was black he would be thrown in jail is a joke .What they should do is take all his medals away with his tittle . He was to represent what is good about America. SHAME ON HIM & THE OLYMPICS
A racist comment? This is a fact!!! Who´s agenda are you pushing here? The truth will always stand no matter what, that´s what we voted for and thats what we expect. We are tired of this look the other way political agenda, we want action and we want it now!!! Let´s see some heads roll!
The criminalization of hemp is NOT a racist issue it is a money issue. The more that the powers that be can criminalize people for their use of this herb the more money they make in keeping it illegal. The most important reason for keeping it illegal is to not allow the many uses of hemp to interfer with their money machine. Check out William Randolph Herst and go from there to get where I am on this agenda.
Listen you potthead, this isn´t about being for or against canabis. This is about the action taken against an ofense by a Gold Medalist which is a role model for our youth, we don´t need anymore Paris Hiltons, Nicole Simpson or Brittney Spears want to be´s terrorizing our streets!
Listen you HOTHEAD, don't preach to me about Phelps ruining the lives of our children. The places you need to look for that accusation is the movie and music industry who are demoralizing and satanizing our children. Phelps is a ripple in the lake and you are riding on the emotion of his mistake as if it will ruin everything in the world. Give me a break!
I see from your tone you´ve moved on from pot to coke, I must admit that trying to use a Gold Medalist as a Poster Boy for Drugs can get you ahead in the game, but it isn´t going to work. You potheads are breaking the law, just like he did and he should pay the appropriate penalty for his action! If you do the Crime be ready to do some time!
Yes it is about the legalization of cannabis. It is demonized in the corporate media, then prohibition is carried out by repeating pieces of shit like yourself. The fact that it is illegal is a crime against humanity, and should let all of you know the truth that indeed we are slaves. Come with original arguments not pre-packaged ideas from the corporate media.
I think you should go see your parole officer, and take your monthly drug test. I understand those years in prison were hard but you´ll get over it. No matter what happened to you in jail you are still a man.
No one can be put in jail for a tabloid taking a picture of them doing something illegal that no one actually cares about, and to even try to compare smoking pot with leading a country to commit mass murder is beyond sick.
Excuse me? Did you or didn't you compare Phelps being let of he hook to Bush being let off the hook? You did. Did you or didn't you say Phelps should be thrown in jail? You did. So obviously you didn't understand what I said, no problem, I'll simplify it for you. You're a prick, and an idiot. Most Western countries have decriminalized pot, and nobody cares anymore because it isn't worth caring about. Get over it. Stop being a tool and stop trolling YT, you're fucking pathetic.
I´m just here to say that your weetarded, weeeeetaaaarrrrddeeeeed, go tell your mom to clean you up. When you can understand grown up talk, you can come in on the conversation. Go read your High Times magazine with your pothead friends!
thermalGeek, you could really use a bong hit ,you prude bitch. After what Phelps sacraficed to bring home the Gold to the US, he can smoke all the weed he likes. Got it ? Neuron boy ?
go drink your beer you sloppy pot bellied drunk and then run over a chruch bus after leaving the bar and go home and hit your woman you fuckin bitchy , gripey lush.
Our forefathers used to grow weed, Thermalgeek. The constitution is written on hemp paper. and my favorite Olympic athelete uses it to relax. Alcohol has over 60 realted illnesses associated with it. Is alcohol OK, just because it is legal ? Pot is illegal for political reasons, not detremantal medical ones, u frickin Einstein...Eisntein somked weed and so did Sigmund Freud and your favorite president Bill Clinton. I will continue to sell weed because it should be enjoyed by those who want to .
Thanks for the confession, I have your IP address now, you can expect a visit from your local police department. Better get rid of your stash or see you in jail, LOL!!!
The fog was probably from the humidity at the pool. I thought it was ironic, given his charges.
Is this the worst we've seen athletes do in this country? It'd be ridiculous to punish him further. He made a dumb choice, one that's not hard to do when you've grown up concentrating on a strict routine in order to reach his goal.
At least he admits to his mistake, was very honest and forthcoming about it, and is taking the punishment gracefully. Can't say that a lot about a lot of athletes.
Let him smoke his pot. Its not a big deal at all. Its not as dangerous as alcohol and he can obviously handle it fine. I got your back Michael. Im a bigger fan now.
OMG it was a natural herb what is wrong with wanting to feel good with pot if it has no ill effects? Im so tired of people deciding what is good or bad for my body and trying to make it illegal for my use of such organics, worry about yourselves and stay out of other peoples business.
Alcohol was once illegal too. So was human rights. Our country started on breaking oppresive laws. I suggest you respect these words:
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." -Thomas Jefferson
Banned for life? Are you kidding? people like you are unreal
The point is that legality is a HORRIBLE barometer for stating whats right or wrong. That "some shit" I'm quoting is directly to the point of what I'm talking about, which you are apparently ignorant of. Steroids are illegal in sports because ITS CHEATING. Yeah, thats a good reason. Whats the "good reason" for weed? Alcohol is legal to buy and use. If youre not aware of that, youre a complete dumbfuck
FIRST OFF I DONT SEE ANY SMOKE IN THAT BONG AND SECOND He is the greatest swimmer in the history of mankind and he smokes weed. ooohh no you mean he didnt turn into a heroin junkie or move into his mothers basement ? I SAY BOYCOTE KELLOGES FOR DISING HIM
If it's okay for the CIA to run drugs into USA to make money for black operations why isn't it okay for us to use them. Our government is hypocritical illegal and criminal. Especially when it comes to 9/11.
Holy crap PatrickDunnevant, where have you been the past 40 yrs? LMAO research much? Our govt has done MANY horrible things and there is MUCH documentation on it.
hell 3 months for a photo. hell what year is this? now your not allowed to make mistakes. That might of been his first time trying pot out. I probably take a toke if i didn't have a life but swimming and media on my ass all day. 8 gold medals so i don't think pot affected him. Pot never killed anyone. booze kills all the time.

I think it's bullcrap that this man can break an assload of world records, revolutionize the sport, and singlehandedly steal the Olympic spotlight, and not even be allowed to just chill out, relax and smoke a freaking joint.
I think that his awesomeness proves that marijuana use is not positively related to human deficiency.
Why can't sober people understand that?

Yeah. I'd agree with your "rents" on this one. I'd say getting involved in any kind of substance usage when you're only fifteen years old qualifies as "fucking your life up."

In 1968 Mexico City Olympics, 2 African American Runners, one a Gold medalist and the other a Bronze medalist, Tommie Smith and John Carlos; lifted up a Black glove in solidarity with a political belief. They were stripped of their medals and banned from competing ever again. The fact is that the white and the rich can get away with anything in America! Wheres the change?

Let´s go forward, right. Thats what they said when they pardoned Nixon, and now they´re letting the Bush Genocide slide and now it´s the token swimmer. When will you learn. And I say it again, if he were black he would be in jail. They would probably find some chic to say they got raped by him too.

Lets go foward ?, how can you make a statement like that ? This had nothing to do with the color of his skin . Thats a racist statement ."WE AS AMERICANS" shall move foward . I am white and I am proud that I voted for OBAMA, I am proud of our black president. To say if he was black he would be thrown in jail is a joke .What they should do is take all his medals away with his tittle . He was to represent what is good about America. SHAME ON HIM & THE OLYMPICS

The criminalization of hemp is NOT a racist issue it is a money issue. The more that the powers that be can criminalize people for their use of this herb the more money they make in keeping it illegal. The most important reason for keeping it illegal is to not allow the many uses of hemp to interfer with their money machine. Check out William Randolph Herst and go from there to get where I am on this agenda.

Listen you potthead, this isn´t about being for or against canabis. This is about the action taken against an ofense by a Gold Medalist which is a role model for our youth, we don´t need anymore Paris Hiltons, Nicole Simpson or Brittney Spears want to be´s terrorizing our streets!

Listen you HOTHEAD, don't preach to me about Phelps ruining the lives of our children.

Yes it is about the legalization of cannabis. It is demonized in the corporate media, then prohibition is carried out by repeating pieces of shit like yourself. The fact that it is illegal is a crime against humanity, and should let all of you know the truth that indeed we are slaves. Come with original arguments not pre-packaged ideas from the corporate media.

Our forefathers used to grow weed, Thermalgeek. The constitution is written on hemp paper. and my favorite Olympic athelete uses it to relax. Alcohol has over 60 realted illnesses associated with it. Is alcohol OK, just because it is legal ? Pot is illegal for political reasons, not detremantal medical ones, u frickin Einstein...Eisntein somked weed and so did Sigmund Freud and your favorite president Bill Clinton. I will continue to sell weed because it should be enjoyed by those who want to .

The fog was probably from the humidity at the pool. I thought it was ironic, given his charges.
Is this the worst we've seen athletes do in this country? It'd be ridiculous to punish him further. He made a dumb choice, one that's not hard to do when you've grown up concentrating on a strict routine in order to reach his goal.
At least he admits to his mistake, was very honest and forthcoming about it, and is taking the punishment gracefully. Can't say that a lot about a lot of athletes.

Alcohol was once illegal too. So was human rights. Our country started on breaking oppresive laws. I suggest you respect these words:
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." -Thomas Jefferson

The point is that legality is a HORRIBLE barometer for stating whats right or wrong. That "some shit" I'm quoting is directly to the point of what I'm talking about, which you are apparently ignorant of. Steroids are illegal in sports because ITS CHEATING. Yeah, thats a good reason. Whats the "good reason" for weed? Alcohol is legal to buy and use. If youre not aware of that, youre a complete dumbfuck
