Who cares? He’s a 23 year old kid.

I agree. So what if he smoked a little pot from a bong? Leave the kid alone.

Probably Phelps... I am saddened. I understand that while all his pals were partying, for years he was in the pool, and now probably feels it’s “his turn” but he is truly a hero to a lot of little kids. It’s sad. I wish he could have been more discreet.

I have never smoked anything in my life unless you consider ‘smoking’ a roast on the smoker ‘smoking’.

He seems to have been spending much time in Vegas with a questionable crowd along with a girlfriend who’s a stripper.

Some people have all the luck.

Yeah. Gawd knows I had my wild streak growing up. You’re right, tho. Kids have few heroes these days.

I’d say Jamaica’s Usiah Bolt, 100 meter gold medalist and world record holder. He is Jamaican after all.

I think it must be a big letdown to be so focused on attaining something like an Olympic medal, then accomplish it, then wake up the next day and find out, yeah, maybe you are going to get a little more money (compared to what it cost to train all those years, though), but beyond that NO ONE CARES.

What is this going to do to his potential for endorsements?

At 23 he is not a kid anymore. He is an adult.

One party-goer who witnessed the star’s behaviour told the News of the World: “He was out of control from the moment he got there.

“If he continues to party like that I’d be amazed if he ever won any more medals again.”

Phelps’ aides went into a panic over our story and offered us a raft of extraordinary incentives not to run the bong picture.

It was on November 6, weeks after his Beijing triumph, that 23-year-old Phelps surprised students at the University Of South Carolina in Columbia by showing up unannounced at a house party.

He was visiting Jordan Matthews, a girl he was secretly seeing who was a student there.

Our source revealed: “Michael came to visit Jordan but ended up just getting wasted every night.

“He didn’t know many people so you’d think he’d be a little shy. But he was loud, obnoxious and slamming beers from the get-go.

“Every girl wanted a piece of him and every guy wanted to be his best buddy. He couldn’t get enough of all the attention.”

As he basked in his hero status, Phelps knocked back beers and shots of spirits. And when a student offered him the glass bong engraved with red writing, he did not hesitate, says our source.

The 6ft 4ins athlete, in a white T-shirt and navy cap worn back to front, clasped the device in his huge hands and inhaled deeply.

Our source said: “You could tell Michael had smoked before. He grabbed the bong and a lighter and knew exactly what to do.

“He looked just as natural with a bong in his hands as he does swimming in the pool. He was the gold medal winner of bong hits. Michael ended up getting a little paranoid, though, because before too long he looked like he was nervous and ran out of the place.”

As a 20 year old I simply do not see myself as a “kid” and the simple fact is that smoking dope in the USA is illegal in most situations.

Millions in endorsements out the window in the snap of a finger.

The up side is that he might get that lucrative Doritos deal.
