I so hoped it wasn't Phelps when I read the breaking news on Drudge before the story was posted, but I thought that it probably was him.

How very sad in so very many ways.

So, he was pictured with a pipe and that negates everything he’s ever done and everything he hopes to do in his life? Give me a break.

Well he could always become a DemocRAT and say he didn’t inhale.

If he continues to promote the lifestyle of a pothead they should take his gold medals away.

Thank goodness it wasn’t a cigarette or cigar. Some people might be really upset then.

Could they really ban him if he doesn’t fail a drug test? And if swimming is like wrestling, national team members are always subject to drug testing.

Michael Phelps means nothing to me, and if he wants to use marijuana, oh well. Stupid is as stupid does.

However, if the rules for competition are “no drug use ever,” then (if this is really he) he shouldn’t be allowed to compete any more. With no actual drug charges on his record, he should be able to get a real job.

“destroy the career”

R U kidding me?

We have a foreign potus who smokes now, smoked pot and crack, is playing BOHIC with the muzzies, the world is ganging up on Israel, new jobs are scarce, and people are going to get their panties in a bunch over a glass pipe?

Go have a beer, watch the Super Bowl tomorrow and let’s not be so quick to condemn. It plays right into the whole PC, ordering people how to act thing.

Another reason to legalize pot, had he been caught with a sloe-gin fizz all that would have been questioned was his sexuality.

What is so unfortunate about these Olympic athletes is that they work for one thing there whole life and that is winning a gold medal and once they accomplish their goal or fall short of their goal and they then say, “Now what?”

It is a very unbalanced life. Like Michael said all he did was “sleep, eat and swim.” Now that it is over and he has all this idle time he has nothing to accomplish.

I remember Mary Lou Retton said the same thing after she was done, she gained 40 lbs and no idea what to do after it was over.

I hope he learns from his mistakes because he is on a “self destruction” course. He has been in Vegas a lot living it up and trying to learn as much as possible about poker.

Hopefully this is a wake up call for him.

So now white children have a role model whose a marijuana smoking Olympic Gold medal winner.

While black children have a role model whose a corrupt coke-head living in the White House.

I sure miss John Wayne.

Not really. What's sad is the failed war on pot.
