Michael Phelps up in smoke

As shown from the above picture submitted to the british tabloid, Michale Phelps was caught smoking pot at a party back in November of 2008.

Why are these pictures showing up now? I have no clue, but Phelps was quick to respond to the above picture by saying

"I have acted immature and not in the way the people would have expected from me, im sorry and i will not do it again"

Many people are disapointed with the Olympic 8 Gold Medalist, Many reacting with " How can a role model do such a thing" while others are saying "He's young, he did what he did, if this is the worst he can do, so what"

How do i see it?, Well i say fuck it, who cares. To be honest it was just a little pot smoke. One thing about America is that there already too crazy about pot and pot smokers. As for Canadians and British im suprised they even care. I have nothing against weed heads, and im suprised that people are suprised. Like seriously do you really think that people in this generation haven't smoked any pot in there life time? This kid isn't the nice kid that people wanted to make him to be, role model my ass.

I honestly was never a fan of him and didn't even give a shit that he won so many medals. The only reason why he's a big shot is because he's fucking American. If he was Chinese and won 8 medals no one would care and this probably wouldn't have even made it into the press.

Like i said why in the fuck was this so late getting to the tabloid to begin with? and why the britsh one? who the fuck was at the same party that took place in the US that was able to snap a picture and then think, hmm im going to submit it to the British tabloid?

On a good note, Michael Phelps is not going to loose his medals because he wasn't smoking pot while he was in the olympics. So no need to worry about the American golden boy Olympic records, but as for his 100's of million dollar sponserships?

Well thats another story, lets see how this plays out.
