nobody's perfect, phelps isnt an execption, he deserves to be punished, and thats that, but i still respect his abilities

[psycho666]

He's a phenomenal, once-in-a-century athlete, true, but he's still just a kid, I'm not saying what he did wasn't stupid, but people tend to place celebrities and famous societal figures on unnecessary pedestals and then are shocked when they make mistakes. I don't blame him wanting to get wasted, truth be told.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Hope he doesn't do it again.... by the way psycho...that's a creepy sig.

Phelps is amazingly talented, but he is not immune to mistakes. We've all regretted things, so I say we move on and just wait until London 2012. I'm sure we'll be proud again.

[Ashley]

I heard about this as well.

God, people love to watch others fall. Honestly everyone makes stupid mistakes, he's 23, young and still learning. I understand he's a role model but he hasn't grown up, he's still learning and still finding who he is. It pisses me off to listen to people and the media freaking out. Phelps will grow out of it like most kids do and it won't be a big deal.

[Mik3]

well thats the media, charachter bashing is what gets them payed. I guess now some parents wont want their kids to idolize him. But its just pot, least hes not a cheater, Barry Bonds has the home run records, and he ODs on steriods.

Trufax... but what're you gonna do? They make these celebs out to be inhuman; we watch and admire them for the good-- following them as an example, using their accomplishments as incentive. Buuuuut how bout when they make a mistake? We suddenly haul ass, running away, cowering in fear covering the younger generations eyes and ears just to make sure to be extra hypocritical when asked of our opinions of the said (in this case, Phelps) icon.

I mean seriously, remember Jessica Simpson? Yeah! Didya know that she's not human? OH NO, course not! I mean, like... before she was skinny... and NOW SHE'S NOT! SHE'S GOT MEAT ON HER WTF. Weight gain isn't common to those under the paparazzi flashes!!! In fact it's IMPOSSIBLE! SHE MUST BE SHUNNED! :O

E_E



anyway back to Phelps XD i think he shouldn't have been punished at all. Seriously, he brought back what? 12 gold medals under US's name, works his butt off to do and so and so on and so on-- and then he decides to have a little chat with Mister BongBong and suddenly he's the devil?

REALLY PARENTS? gawsh, just-- when your kids ask if they can smoke some weed like their ~*hero*~ just tell them to win it big at the olympics and you're set. REALLY.

aaaanyway i think it's pretty highlarious how the public opinion is so embarrassingly versatile in response to the media, frrrrrrr srs. XP



BTW NOW THE PHELP'S DIET MAKES SENSE. HAHHAHAHA

[Hefster]

Meh who hasn't done what he did? I mean it's not a big deal and he clearly doesn't care considering he is just shrugging off his 3month suspension. What interests me more is how he is able to keep breaking world swimming records in a row and sometimes 2 in just one day. What a stamina freak! I just hope it's 100 % him and not some form of new high tech steroids. Oh well, only time will tell.

hefs you do know of his diet right? XP

that and i'd figure it's part adrenaline too, not any super speedy fish/gill mutated steroid XD

"The only thing they like to see more than a hero is to see a hero fail, fall" The green goblin said it right?

So true im afraid.

[MagusKyros]

Me. I've never smoked or drank before. I don't see why you need to.

Now he's lost millions of dollars because of this. Regardless of if you think it was a "childish" mistake or not.

[Hefster]

You're not missing out on much.

[Derock]

Oh well...

He done it and he apologized, yet he has to accept the consequences of his actions. Because of that day he used drugs and the picture was captured by the media, his reputation is now ruined.

It may be ruined with Kellogs, but he's still a national hero, and in time most will just look back on this and say, "well, he was still a young adult, and sometimes they do irresponsible things." So, I think that he'll learn from this, grow, and we'll all move on

Especially if he brings home more Olympic gold in 2012, people will be very quick to forget all about this period in his life

Yeah, that's true. They did forget about his car accident back around 2004.

[blindeye]

Eh, Phelps is overrated anyway.

He only earned the world records he set in Sydney. All of his current records are only because of his Laser.

Plus hes an arrogant jerk.
