http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/news/150832/14-times-Olympic-gold-medal-winner-Michael-Phelps-caught-with-bong-cannabis-pipe.html

In our exclusive photo Michael Phelps, who won a record EIGHT gold medals for swimming at the Beijing games last summer, draws from a bong.

The glass pipes are generally used to smoke cannabis.

And after sporting chiefs announced laws which mean four-year bans for drug-taking, Phelps’ dreams of adding to his overall 14 gold medal tally at the 2012 games in London could already be OVER.

Is it him or not. Suspect

IMHO I think that is a really BIG stretch to think that picture looks like Michael Phelps.

Ok, here's where I get on a little soap box... not directing this response to anyone specifically, just the general pop.

I mean C'mon the guy won 8 gold medals!

Good or bad, right or wrong, He probably wasn't concerned about it until this media frenzy started. All the sudden he feels "caught" in the headlights of public opinion and needs to apologize, etc. Give the guy some slack, he's a hero.

Millions of people have smoked pot among others... Bing Crosby... Thomas Jefferson... Peter Boyle... Richard Branson... Sarah Palin... Barack H. Obama... William J. Clinton... Bill Gates... Morgan Freeman... Carl Sagan... Norman Mailer... Arnold Schwartzenegger... Jennifer Aniston... Newt Gingrich... Richard Feynman... and Michael Bloomberg

Would you scrutinize any of the celebrities above for smoking pot when weighed against their accomplishments?

... get with it people... you're grandmother smoked pot with her bible study group!

Take a survey of the people in your office or place of employment, and I'd guess at least 30-50% smoke pot. Hell... half my floor (cubicle farm) smokes.

Ok, I'm not sure the numbers of regular smokers would be quite so 'high' but I think that most people have smoked pot more than once at some period in their lives. I wouldn't think it best to go around taking a poll... but yeah, I'd guess about 80% have.

Some people you just get a shocked reaction at when you see certain people do certain things. Especially the way Phelps competed in his sport and took care of his body.

As for hero.....Sports icon, best swimmer so far, excellent athlete.....not with you on the hero status tho.

Ok, that's fine. Not everyone has the same standards for "hero".

Would you admit you think less of him than you did before?

I really don't think less of him....he is young and I believe he had a helicopter mother over him during all his life. So yeah he did something stupid; more that he let someone take a picture of him doing something stupid.

To keep it in the sports world. I think less of athlete's that use performance enhancing drugs. I think less of the sports figures like pacman Jones who always seem to find trouble.

Good observation about Phelps & Family than the guy at the party who said "he was out of control from the moment he arrived". Although, both are probably true.

At least he didn't shoot himself in the leg of some stupid shit like (plax)! Very Happy

Michael Phelps caught with cannabis pipe Empty Phelps May Face Charges!!!!

Post  iberlingirl Tue Feb 03, 2009 7:24 pm

HERE

(CNN) -- A South Carolina sheriff's office is investigating whether Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps smoked marijuana on the University of South Carolina campus.

Authorities will file criminal charges if the investigation determines that they are warranted, a spokesman said Tuesday.

"If someone breaks the law in Richland County, we have an obligation as law enforcement to investigate and to bring charges," Sheriff Leon Lott said in a statement.

They can never actually prove that he was smoking pot. They have no evidence. It's all just fluff to make their police department look special.

The person who has the least respect from me in this whole deal is whoever took the picture and decided to sell it to a tabloid and possibly ruin someone's legacy. I'm assuming he thought he was with friends and just having fun. And I can't figure out why he felt the need to apologize either.

Maybe not, but do you really think he would have apologized for it if it wasn't marijuana?

Regardless, I saw that the IOC accepted his apology so they can all play nice again. Michael Phelps caught with cannabis pipe 880362

Yeah, that whole "sherrifs department" response sounded like "The-donut-eating-good-'ol-boys-got-it-all-under-control-folks". If there's any crime here we'll find it and snuff it out.

I bet they'll try to charge him to see if they can get a couple thousand from him in fines, etc. pig

See, IMO the beer bottle sets a bad example... he should have been drinking wine, which is more or less a smidge healthier than beer. Now he needs to apologize for giving us all a bad example of which alcoholic beverage to consume. rabbit

A quote from the sheriff:

"This case is no different than any other case," Lott told the Post. "This one might be a lot easier since we have photographs of someone using drugs and a partial confession. It's a relatively easy case once we can determine where the crime occurred."

Yes sheriff Lott. We need to get this maniac off the streets! Rolling Eyes

So, here's what we know as I understand. Phelps "expressed regret" for the photo (one of the first things a lawyer tells people being sued or that have committed a crime is to not apologize, but that's another issue). However, he has not admitted that it was marijuana in the pipe. I don't know what else could be smoked in a pipe that size, but hey, that's irrelevent. Therefore, there isn't really any evidence. But the more I think about it, the more I think this sheriff sees this as his step stool into advancement, a way to get into the spotlight and impress the country with his by-the-book style. So, I have to ask the question. If all one has to do is confess to it, why wasn't Bill Clinton, and others who admitted they had smoked pot, placed under arrest?
