According to this article, if this is true, Phelps may be facing a four year ban from international sports, loss of huge sponsorships, and no more chance of adding to his 14 gold medals at the London Olympics in 2012. Not only may Phelps lose whatever fame he had, but he'd go down as one of the biggest chumps in sports history. Why would a man who has everything, but who also depends on the performance of his body to make him great fill himself up with garbabge? It makes no sense at all. Can he just not control himself? Now what we have is a potential tragedy, the hero who was once adored by a nation could soon be part of this list: Mike Tyson, Pete Rose, Latrell Spreewell, OJ Simpson, and Michael Phelps.... so so so sad. On a side note, I had fun playing with the colors on this post.

I have no idea what cannabis is, but if this is true, how sad. Why would he do something like that? I hope it is not true.
When I saw this on the news, it was the day after the photo was released, and they also had a clip of Michael Phelps acknowledging that it was true and apologizing, promising his family and his fans it would never happen again.
I was so upset!!! So many people look up to him and he really had the world in the palm of his hands. Way to blow it, mister.
