14-times Olympic gold medal winner Michael Phelps caught with cannabis

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

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.

Those dreams seemed the last thing on his mind when he puffed from the bong during two days of partying with students last November, a quiet time in the swimming calendar when athletes would not expect to get tested for drugs.

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.

Good for him. There is nothing wrong with smoking treez if you dont get busted by the cops...

Does that drug ban by the sporting chiefs mainly apply to illegal steroid use that would give him an advantage? I think it's safe to say smoking weed will give him absolutely no advantage whatsoever when "speed" is the main focus. In fact, it'd give his oppenents the advantage lol. With that said, I hope for his sake nothing bad happens as a result of this and him being in the 2012 olympics. Also, why does anybody care about him smoking in the first place (besides his endorsers who may be pretty ****ed right now)?

Fair play to him. It doesn't affect his sport. I don't support the use of it, but I don't look down or condone it.

I don't think it matters since he is a superfreak.
