This just in:

Michael Phelps has been suspended from competition for three months by USA Swimming, the latest fallout from a photo that showed the Olympic great inhaling from a marijuana pipe.

That's OK. Next Olympics aren't for 3 years, and by then his sponsors will be overpaying him again.

I am sure there are other things in this huge world that are more important, so instead of sensationalizing a young adult(no matter who it is) for making a error in judgement we should be focusing on those more important things that are going on!! Let it go!!

All the sponsor should drop him. Not for smoking dope but being stupid enough to smoke it in public and getting picture taking.

I was expecting that.

No matter how many persons are smoking marijuana in the USA at this time, it should not be taken as 'normal' behavior. It is illegal and bad for your health. I am sure Kellogs would have taken the same action if he would have been caught drinking Tequila at 18.

In a case like this sponsors usually wait and measure the publics reaction. if he is suspended, and if there is a criminal investigation rest will slowly come or atleast should come.

I figure, he's gotta eat 10,000 calories a day when he's training hard, and he probably needs a little appetite stimulant. Really, have you ever tried to eat 10,000 calories in one day? Let alone every day?
