Michael Phelps fired off a mea culpa for that damning bong photo -- telling paps on his way into a Baltimore training center that he used "bad judgment." But there's more....
When Phelps was asked if he had stopped all drugs, he cracked a smile and responded, "I don't take drugs ... and I get drug tested all the time ... you can look at the records and you can see."
Our records only contain one photo...

5. If he had been a average joe shmo and not some money making, celebrity he'd have been thrown in jail. When are we going to stop treating celebidiots differently and hold them up to the same laws and standards as the rest of us? And to the parents out there - really? You WANT your children to look up to someone who only apologizes for drug use AFTER they get caught and only because they got caught?
The double standard is beyond out of control and it has to stop somewhere. Let's stop going ga-ga over celebs who think they are above the law and start doing stories on those that are working hard and helping others with no thought or want of attention, money or celeb status.

8. So what if he took a hit? He obviously takes care of himself and is not some pothead wasting his life away and becoming a burden on society. Does it matter if he used to smoke or if he still does on occasion?

9. Man, I really think he should have just put on all 14 of his gold medals and held a press conference endorsing Mary Jane. I mean seriously, the stuff should be legal, its harmless. It doesnt enhance his performance.... and we alllll know he wasnt sorry for using it (which he shouldnt be), he was sorry for getting caught. I think the Charles Barkely "im not a role model" route would have been a much better way to go. The guy is so successfull at what he does, they could have caught him with a suitcase full of drugs and he would still have kept his endorsements, he's too valuable to let go. This isnt Kobe being accused of rape we're talking about here. Smoke on! big mike!.

14. He is suppose to be a ROLE Model...I wouldnt want my children to learn that kind of behavior...none the less...had an average Joe done the same he'd been in jail...wheres the justice and equality? He was wrong...his merrits should be taken away.

15. "He wasn't sorry till he got caught. pitifull"
hahahaha people like you are whats wrong with society. He didnt even do anything wrong. It grows from the earth. Dont knock it till you try it. He's the best swimmer in the world, if he wants to get munchies, play video games, then take a nap.... i think thats his choice. He only apologized cause idiots like you actually think this stuff is detrimental and not a gift. Lighten up, it aint crack.
