Michael Phelps Photographed Smoking a Bong Cannabis Pipe
Thursday, February 5th, 2009
The British newspaper News of The World published a picture of olympic gold medalist/poker player Michael Phelps smoking Cannabis from a bong.
This picture could potentially ruin his swimming carrier and many people are losing faith in Phelps.
One of the guys from the party he attended had the following to say about Phelps which does not really inspire confidence in his future as a swimmer.
“If he continues to party like that I’d be amazed if he ever won any more medals again.”
Michael Phelps has now come out with an official statement and is asking all of his fans for forgiveness.
“I’m 23 years old and despite the successes I’ve had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.”
It was not long ago that Michael Phelps went public with the fact that he is playing online poker and he is good friends with Doyle Brunson and there were rumours saying he would become a sponsored player at DoylesRoom.com. The fact that he was playing online poker did not really make him look good in the main stream media and this latest scandal cant have helped him much.
It will be interesting to see what will happen at the next Olympics, that is probably the only place where he can prove to the world once more that he has been able to move on.
