News of the World, a British tabloid published the photo yesterday clearly showing 23-year-old Phelps drawing bongs. The photos were taken in November last year at a University of South Carolina house party, 3 months after he set records by winning 8 gold medals at the Beijing Olympics.
If you are a 14-time Olympic gold medalist, considered as the world's greatest swimmer and a role model for the youth, would you smoke marijuana?
Glass pipes are generally used to smoke cannabis. Marijuana or hashish is classified under the name 'cannabinoids' in the list of prohibited drugs under World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) rules, and athletes caught using drugs could face a two-year ban from the Olympics. Phelps also risks his endorsement deals, estimated to be worth $100 million over the course of his lifetime.
Phelps later issued a statement calling his behavior regrettable.
"I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. 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," he said.
