LOL. I’m a fan of Michael Phelps, now that I know he smokes weed. Seriously, a lot of people are saying this is going to kill his chances for competing in the Olympics in 2012. Whatever. Click the picture for a larger view.

Phelps issued a pretty lame apology too, saying:

“I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment,” the record-setting American athlete said in a statement issued Sunday..”

“I’m 23 years old, and despite the successes I have had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner that people have come to expect from me,” Phelps said. “For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public — it will not happen again

Come on, Mike…just tell everybody you enjoy the occasional toke/bonghit. I remember during the Olympics people talking about you eating 8,000 calories per day…heh.

Also, whoever the snitch is that sold the picture of Phelps smoking a bong, should be shunned forever. Narc.
