Phelps Pot Shot -- It Was a "Bad Mistake"

All you you morons who want to take away his medals after a bong hit are fat dirtbags. STFU.

More importantly, what is going on with his tooth? He has a funky mouth anyway.

First a DUI and now this. And he hangs out a lot in Vegas with strippers too. He may be entering down a bad a path

The thing is that it was irresponsible for him to smoke it and smoke it in public where the photo could get out. The man has been celebrated in this nation and then this just marrs his whole image. He was held to a higher standard and is paid with money and accolades as such and then makes this move. If he's going to take the big money for his endorsements, then he has better deliver on his end.

TWO WORDS: WHO CARES

Seriously why is everyone giving him a hard time? He is 23 years old I am sorry but whether you want to believe it or not most people have smoked weed at least once in there lives why is it so bad for him? He obviously is not training right now because you know he gets drug tested. I think people need to just leave him alone.

I read he's got that Aspergers syndrome...kind of like autism, like Jett Travolta had, but not nearly as bad, but with this version the person can do things other people can, and in some cases very very well, like swimming for him---but they have an inability to feel anything for another human. Thus why he always comes across to others his age as pompous and arrogant and aloof----he cant help it.

I dont think drinking and drug useage helps with that syndrome though. Wondering why his Mother, a supposed Educator, has let him wander the world with this syndrome. Is he on medication or will that interfere with his drug testing for the Olympics?

He is not like us---he doesnt feel anything for anyone but himself. And to be smoking Pot is probably the worst thing someone with this syndrome can do. Unless maybe he feels for other people when he's stoned. Dont know.

LEGALIZE POT ALREADY FOR CRYING OUT LOAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM A POT SMOKER ALL MY LIFE, BUT I AM STRONGLY AGAINST ALL OTHER DRUGS. COCAINE, HERION, X, PILLS AND ALL MAN MADE CHEMICALS KILL

POT SMOKER FOR LIFE

Wonder why when Snoop Dogg or any other Black man gets caught with marijuana, there are no people saying, Give the guy a break?

(Rhetorical Question)

This is so stupid.

Marijuana should be legalized.

And athletes should not be role models.

The debate isn't which is worse, alcohol or marijuana; marijuana is illegal and Michel Phelps got caught. Period! He should be fined, jailed, whatever; anyone else would be. He's only sorry because he couldn't stop the photograph from being published. The more I read about this boy, the more I'm starting not to like him. He is a role model, whether he wants to be or not. His handlers really need to reign him in or else he's gonna do something that he'll really regret!

the videographer should have won a medal for all his ass-kissing at the end of that clip

C'mon TMZ ... set down some guidelines for your trigger-happy paps... kissing ass should only happen in order to get the shot. Afterwards it just sounds so lame. He got the shot and the comments from one of the biggest headlines going right now and ended it sounding so desperate and pathetic. Be a professional... say thanks and be on your way!

People need to leave this kid alone.

What's hillarious is that all middle america is Oh he's a role model, he should't smoke pot ... yet their kids in college are pretty much doing pot, and if not doing have at least tried

Who cares the only thing weed will do for him is decrease his lung capacity it isn't like it's helping him win. Let him get as stoned as he wants to it isn't anyones buisness.

Obama admitted to doing pot and INHALING along with other ILLEGAL drugs. We should Impeach him. Lets all support Phelps and smoke a bong in protest of all this nonsense

84% say forgive and forget. Man if this was in anyway a black or hispanic person, this thread would be bombarded with racist comments
