whitesoxfan101 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) The question I have is, do you care? If I recall correctly, he got a DUI and while underage to boot, so perhaps he likes to party a bit too much, and I know any drug use is illegal. But despite all that and the fact that I have never touched drugs and generally find any use of them to be pretty stupid, I don't care if he does them. I doubt it had any affect on his swimming at the olympics or otherwise, and beyond that I don't have any interest or care in what he does anyways. I'm sure this will blow up and be a big controversial story on ESPN though Monday, so get ready for it.

Kyyle23 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/swimming/news/story?id=3876804 Phelps said: "I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again." LOL, it will not happen again = I will not be caught on camera doing this again Edited February 1, 2009 by kyyle23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I was really hoping we’d stop hearing about Phelps soon. No such luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll stop hearing about him very soon. This is extremely minor news, and we won't hear anything about him again until the next Olympics. I mean, who gives a s*** what he's doing? I don't even give a s*** about him during the Olympics. It's f***ing swimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I don't really give a s*** what he does. The bigger question is, how much bigger would this story be if he was black? When he got that DUI I don't really remember being that big of deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He eats what, 12,000 calories a day right? I would think you need some drugs just to get hungry enough to eat that much at times.

whitesoxbrian Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 He makes most of America proud by what he did in Beijing and now people rip him for smoking up a joint or 7. Who gives a f**k? If he has fun doing it, let him do it. If I see another picture of him in a speedo, I'll puke. Atleast this was a breath of fresh air.

Smoking a joint does not equal ripping a bong. Who gives a f***? The people that say marijuana is illegal? "Breath of fresh air"? From a bong....really? Really?

Jake Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 The main problem with this is when the young athlete sees this and says hey I guess I can smoke and still be an elite athlete because Michael Phelps is the best ever in an endurance sport AND he smokes!
