Michael Phelps takes a bong hit

[Beau Vine]

“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.

How much endorsement money will this cost him?

 

[MadTrapper]

OK, so I haven't read the entire article because, frankly I could care less. So all I have to say is...and????

I would be doing the same thing with all the money I got from endorsements. That and investing the way the stock market is now.

 

[CanaTigers]

So will they strip him of his medals for doping.

The Link

Says since it was "out of competition" it's out of the jurisdiction of WADA and IOC. Bodies admonished him and said no further action would be taken. Everyone else is having a melt down. I think the reaction is a little much. He's 23 and single. What do you expect?

 

[Bill in Sinton]

At least he was over 15 when he competed in the Olympics.

Am I supposed to care about this, and why should I?

 

[smwhorn]

As long as he didn't drive while he was stoned, GOOD FOR HIM.

 

[Murphy'sBoy]

Take a good look at the picture. There's no smoke in the bong. Maybe he didn't inahle.

What Michael Phelps should have said.

Greatness.

 

[accuratehorn]

Bravo, Beau Vine, bravo.

Beau Vine, thanks for posting. I've spent the last hour reading other drug policy articles from Reason.

If I were Phelps, I would have walked into the press conference and said, "I have nothing to say that is your business" then walked out

I would have then returned, remained standing, bent over to the microphone, and said "And I want to thank my new sponsors, Planet K and Pipes Plus for their ongoing support" then walked out again.

Dropped by Kellogg cereal as a spokesman-ludicrous. No more Fruit Loops for me, I be boycotting.

People need to get their facts straight. It wasn't a bong. It was a water pipe.
