Most of you have probably not heard about the breaking news because it came out today so I will inform you. Michael Phelps was caught smoking pot. Yes that's right, you heard me, smoking pot. Michael Phelps is 23 years old and was out partying a few months ago at a college. He committed this crime about 6 months ago but they just caught him. One of the students handed him the pot and he knew exactly what to do. This is one of the big mistakes he has made in the past years. Drunk driving, using the wall as a bathroom in a hotel room, and now this?! I, and many of my swimming friends, always thought Michael was like an idol to us. We did reports, made posters, always talked about him, and ALWAYS watched the news if he was on it. Now, we are really disappointed. If you want to learn more please visit www.swimroom.comMichael said in his newest blog on www.swimroom.com "I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgement. I am 23-years-old, and despite the success I have in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner that people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public - it will not happen again."
That is what Michael Phelps said on February 1, 2009 at 1:32 PM. Can we believe it?

No~ I can't believe it. But I must because it is true. Swimmers were always the role models- now with this, we're in the toilet. I am deadbeat.
i really hope so
