Michael Phelps Pot Scandal

I didn't watch the Olympics.  There, I said it.  But I did admire Michael Phelps for his wins in last years Olympics in China.  Good for you, you go boy.

He recently went to a party and was smoking from a pot pipe and someone decided to snap a picture of him with their cell phone while smoking pot.

First of all, I'm not advocating pot or drug use but who cares?  Who hasn't smoked pot from a bong or a pot pipe at a party?  Come on!  Who freakin' cares!  He's an adult.  I've smoked pot when I was 15 all the way through the age of 23.  I occasionally smoke a joint "if" it's being passed around.  I'm not an addict and I'm pretty sure that Michael Phelps is not a pot head either.

He apologized and his endorsements have accepted his apology and they basically said they don't really care.  Although the South Carolina authorities where he was spotted smoking pot are considering a criminal charge against the Olympic Superstar.

Give the man a break, he won all this gold for our country fair and square and not under the influence of any illegal substance.  So he smoked pot, don't put him in jail.
