Michael Phelps Caught Smoking a Bong
A British newspaper published a photograph Sunday allegedly showing multiple Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer Michael Phelps inhaling from a glass pipe generally used to smoke cannabis.
The News of the World weekly said the picture was taken on November 6, almost three months after Phelps won an historic eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics, when he went to a party at the University of South Carolina.
The report claimed 23-year-old Phelps was visiting Jordan Matthews, a girl who was a student at the university and who he was secretly dating, and threw himself into a series of parties in houses and bars.
The photograph shows Phelps, wearing a white t-shirt and a baseball cap back to front, holding the pipe — known as a bong — to his lips and apparently inhaling.
The tabloid quoted a partygoer as saying: “You could tell Michael had smoked before. He grabbed the bong and a lighter and knew exactly what to do.
“He looked just as natural with a bong in his hands as he does swimming in the pool. He was the gold medal winner of bong hits.
“Michael ended up getting a little paranoid, though, because before too long he looked like he was nervous and ran out of the place.”

the comments on huffingtonpost and other sites are like
“leave the poor guy alone”
” it’s only pot”
” after winning all those medals, he deserves to let loose a bit”
” just as long as he keeps winning, it doesnt matter”
etc etc
makes no difference to me… I just love seeing the hypocrisy
This shit is totally unrelated to his Olympic stuff. He’s already been busted for drunk driving and he’s been all over the tabloids with his “nude model” girlfriend. I don’t think anyone holds this fool in high esteem, beyond his brief Olympic moment a few months ago. Who cares about goofy-looking swimmers?? Dude’s gonna lose some endorsements, and gain some cred with stoners. That’s about it.
Here is a comment on the article on ESPN.com…this is very typical of the ESPN core demographic:
there is absolutely nothing wrong with smoking a bong he probably just gained the vote of the pot smoking community and the only thing that makes it wrong is that its “against the law…….the man wasnt training at the point he wasnt doing any special events he was at a party with other 23yr old people probably doing the same thing, im just annoyed with the person who took the picture and leaked it because if i was in that position i cant say that i would have been in the same position…..this man is an american olympic hero cant we cut him some slack?????
If Michael Phelps is into smoking pipes then good for him. Just because he enjoys smoking a water pipe does not mean he should have to lie about it and talk about the “big mistake” he made. The government makes a mistake every time it enforces marijuana prohibition at the expense of America and good since. America should grow up and quit attacking its own citizens for how they decide to spend their recreational time.
