THIS is the astonishing picture which could destroy the career of the greatest competitor in Olympic history.
In our exclusive photo Michael Phelps, who won a record EIGHT gold medals for swimming at the Beijing games last summer, draws from a bong.
The glass pipes are generally used to smoke cannabis.
And after sporting chiefs announced laws which mean four-year bans for drug-taking, Phelps’ dreams of adding to his overall 14 gold medal tally at the 2012 games in London could already be OVER.
Those dreams seemed the last thing on his mind when he puffed from the bong during two days of partying with students last November, a quiet time in the swimming calendar when athletes would not expect to get tested for drugs.

I can't get too outraged about this, it's foolish of him but cannabis is hardly performance enhancing.

That's not a bong...it's a snorkle tube.
Stupid of him to do that.

Idiot. It's stupid in general but to be such a high profile Olympic athelete with endorsements?
I guess the fame, money and temptations are just too much for some people. Part of me would like to chalk it up to him being a 22 year old kid who was blowing off some steam and partying. Heck, I'm sure most of us have done as much. But still, he seems to be out of control if all of that is true.

Andthis was verified by who?

Well now we know why he had the munchies so much :thatsright:

Maybe was just spitting some lube into his penis pump?
