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.

and the World Championships aren’t until mid-July.

I was wondering about that… thats the equivalent of banning someone oct-nov-dec in cycling.

Swimming superstar Michael Phelps has admitted to doubts over whether he will compete at the 2012 Olympics in London.

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!!

Kellogs dropped sponsorship.

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

Maybe he’s practicing for the X games.

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.

Speedo and Omega are standing by their boy.

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?

Well played.
