14-times Olympic gold medal winner Michael Phelps caught with cannabis pipe
News of the World ^ | Feb 2, 2009 | Georgina Dickinson

THIS is the astonishing picture which could destroy the career of the greatest competitor in Olympic history.

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.

What Does Michael Phelps Eat for Breakfast? More Stuff Than You Eat All Day

"Start with three sandwiches of fried eggs, cheese, lettuce, tomato, fried onions, and mayonnaise; add one omelet, a bowl of grits, and three slices of French toast with powdered sugar; then wash down with three chocolate chip pancakes."

I knew he didn’t get that appetite just from swimming.

Phelps is really in the news these days. He is dating a former stripper named Caroline Pal - here pictured with her friend Paris Hilton.

He earned 4 million pounds last year from endorsements. I expect those to dry up.

Maybe he was getting ready for cunnilingus.

You mean he was using it as a tongue enlargement device?

USE THOSE THINGS ONLY AS DIRECTED!

Oh for crying out loud, he’s 23 years old. I think he’s allowed an occasional stupid mistake. Talk about the media destroying someone. yikes. Leave the kid alone. Imagine if they did this to every public person who took a bong hit. What is the point ?

It’s OK, he wasn’t smoking pot, he was inhaling steroids to enhance his performance.

The Olympics will not allow him to compete, if this is proven. It may be okay personally, but that doesn’t stick with the committee that will decide whether his usage of the substance that he is inhaling amounts to gaining unfair advantage.

News Of The World: “Picture which could destroy the career of the greatest competitor in Olympic history.”

Phelps: “That’s not me.”

End of “scandal”.

(I’m a proud alumnus along with Phelps of the Rogers Forge Elementary School in Towson MD)

I saw that. It is not sports drugs though. He was a kid drunk at a college party. It was complete stupidity. Im just thinking who doesnt have a son who has done something stupid like this.

How can anyone “prove” a photo taken from the side and behind?

It maybe, sorta, kinda, possibly, might look vaguely like Phelps, but all he needs to say is “it isn’t me.”

If I recall correctly, the Olympic Committee requires blood tests, not photos from “News Of The World”.

Don’t they also use hair to test for drugs?

Is that what a penis enlargemnent device looks like? Never had the need for one myself. Do get a few emails advertizing them though.

Good I can’t stand him. I have been blasted on this site so many times by saying that I think he is a creep and FINALLY he shows his true colors. Perhaps next time I will be taken seriously.

They don't have to. Blood and urine samples will tell tales.
