    If Phelps had the balls, he would have told all the moral majority fucktards who think he should be a role model to “fuck off!”

    Jesus, the only thing worse than this dude toking up was the embarrassing about-face he gave.

    He’s probably got endorsement contracts with morals clauses. That is gonna be the most expensive toke in history.

    Excuse me while I slam this fifth of vodka….

    šŸ˜Ž

    …next thing you’ll know he’ll be playing outlawed tunes on his bagpipe.

    Phelps isn’t a dope, maybe he’s just leading the way. Be does have poor choices in friends though.

    I dunno – the headline and picture make me think it is actually Mike Protack.

    I guess this isn’t good for the whole “smoke marijuana and you’ll ruin your life” propaganda tripe…unless by “ruin your life” you mean winning the most Olympic gold medals for one person, ever.

    The dope here is the moron writing such a shmaltzy headline. So cheesy 1980’sish. (Unless, of course they mean he is a dope for allowing his picture to be taken doing bong hits).

    I feel sorry for the bong maker, that guy got short shrifted. You can’t even see the full design of the thing.

    At least with the shoe thrower you knew the make and style almost instantly

    Not to be contrarian, but can’t you also smoke regular tobacco with a bong?

    George W. Bush proves you can snort cocaine and still be beloved by millions of hardcore Christians (and even become President).

    Marijuana should not even be considered a drug (in the way that alcohol and tobacco are not treated as such).

    heh, he should have thought of that before ‘fessing up’. No way a serious swimmer is a regular [weed] doper. This was a fluke incident, no doubt. The kid is only human.

    So?

    Has he hurt anyone? killed anyone? ran his car through a red light killing some 8 year old child prodigy?

    Who cares? all the man does is swim for a living. He’s on top of the world, hit his peak, lived his dream, dealt with worldwide recognition for his feats of wonder… can’t go anywhere without people recognizing his funky face..

    i think the man deserves to let off some pressure by escaping this screwed up world a little bit.

    I mean, really, who cares?

    Phelps’ choice of recreation makes no difference to me. I really don’t care what he puts in his body as long as he is not hurting anyone else.

    However, his DUI a few years ago is a different story. There are always others whose life is endangered when a drunk driver is involved.

    This, however, is no big deal.

    I agree with Forensic Audit. #12.

    I loved how NPR couldn’t bring itself to say the word “bong.” It was “glass pipe” instead.

    I fear the worst is yet to come. Brace yourselves for the Phelps’ apology media tour – Oprah, Dr. Phil, Larry King, etc.

    What a moron. His clean-living image is now shot. I’d have guessed that his commercial value was running out, but he just slammed the door on whatever he had left.

    And I don’t care what people say, “Oh, it isn’t as bad as alcohol.” It’s illegal, period.

    But, if you are stupid enough to mess with your mind, I guess we can’t expect you to exercise good judgement.

    “I loved how NPR couldnā€™t bring itself to say the word ā€œbong.ā€ It was ā€œglass pipeā€ instead.

    Funny is that when you go into one of the shops on Main St. (Newark), Flavor or Frollic, they get all bent out of shape if you refer to it as a bong. They’ll correct you with “It’s called a water pipe and if you call it that other word again we’ll ask you to leave!”
