OMG! Get ready for your mind to be blown: Michael Phelps smoked weed! I’ll let News of the World explain it because they got the hot scoop:

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.

That’s what you do with this thing! Now, while the idea that a 23-year-old millionaire smoking marijuana is absolutely mind-blowing, it is kind of a big deal because…

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...

6. He always looked and talked like a mellow stoner.

He had that fuzzed dopey "yeah man" quality.  But so
what?  That's his business.

7. Weed has no damaging effects on the body

Nothing has come out of scientific studies about weed giving cancer or anything. Legalize it.

9. Wow! He's actually using the bong!

Unlike Rosetta Stone, which clearly he did not use. I love those commercials for Rosetta Stone in which Phelps speaks in Englishh about learning Chinese and never says so much as a word in Chinese. Not one word.
At least he knows how to work the old glass. Pitch what you know, I always say.
