THIS is the astonishing picture which could destroy the career of the greatest competitor in Olympic history.
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.
And after 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.

Too old...sorry for him. lol.
I didn’t say he was a creep. But even if I did, we all have different people we admire and that has been since the beginning of time which I doubt that will ever change. I respect your opinion of him.
As a person and a swimmer, I respect what Phelps has accomplished.
Simply amazing.
Sherlockian question.
The sideburns look a little out of sync with today's hair styles, especially for someone back in swim training.

Geeeez the kid is 23 and he suddenly has millions and fame. It’s down time for training so he’s out having a good time. Yea , a bone head move I guess but ...what would you do at 23 with a million dollars? Guess I’d party and date a stripper too. HE”S a kid ..
Oh, but I bet all you baseball fans are all ok with the fact that your adult baseball heroes are booting up drugs in their arms to make them something they are not physically. Oh , that’s ok because it’s your sacred Yankees or Red Sox ...that’s ok right ? Frauds!
the new rule is guilty until proven “democrat party”
Since Phelps collected more gold than the government in 2008, I say his private life is his own business.
By golly, there isn't!
When I was in college, the whole point was to get smoke in the tube :D. Have things really changed that much over the last three decades?
For Christ’s sake we have a president that did hard drugs for years and they swept it under the rug.
He is sucking on a device that someone found in a closet that some guy presumanly used. EEEW! Better a bong than a *ong.
Are you insane???
Here she is: Caroline Pal.
No.
I have college sons. They are successful in their own right but I am not naive in thinking they haven’t tried it. I can assure you the fundamentals of bong hits are just like they have always been.
This picture looks phony unless of course he was taking the Clinton approach to smoking marijuana.
I think it is stupid and makes you dumb, but hey, 23 year old guys do things like this. I really hate the media and I wonder who slipped them this picture?
Wow, Caroline Pal is hot! Good for Michael!!
D’OPE
2. Who cares if it is. I'd rather be around someone who is high than someone who is drunk.
Yes, I am on of those conservatives who think pot should be legal.
