Phelps suspended for 3 months

Michael Phelps has been suspended by US Swimming from competion for three months, and Kellogg's has dropped him after a photo of him smoking marijuana from a glass pipe surfaced at a British tabloid last week.

Sorry Michael but you deserve this punishment :( When you are a sporting icon, youth role model and product endorser, you ought to have a squeaky clean image in and out of the pool.


Kellogg said it would drop its endorsement deal with Michael Phelps after a photograph surfaced in a British newspaper showing him inhaling from a marijuana pipe

While Phelps's other sponsors like Speedo and Omega have accepted his apology, some including Visa and Subway have not had a stance yet.
