Michael Phelps Smokes Weed (Seriously)
 
I'm not starting a conversation about this, so im not posting it in the general discussion area.



Wewt:)

i think they meant to say "He promises he wont be caught doing it again."

filtherton 02-01-2009 10:26 PM

He should just come out and say: "Yes, I smoke weed. And I won a lot of fucking medals for being really good at what I do. Anyone who has a problem with that fact can eat one dick for every gold medal that I have."

KirStang 02-01-2009 10:29 PM

Big Fucking Deal. :rolleyes:

ASU2003 02-01-2009 10:31 PM

Is weed a performance enhancing drug? Didn't they do a bunch of drug tests on him? How could they have not found this out in their tests?

Then again, maybe it is a penis enlarging vacuum and he is way too embarrassed to admit that. (Obscure Van Wilder reference)

Willravel 02-01-2009 10:32 PM

I guess all those commercials alleging that recreational marijuana use leads to apathy and lethargy can finally be put to rest. Hopefully we can start seeing commercials about PCP. Those would be interesting.

So it seems that if I want to smoke it up, I have to get really good at something that I can win medals in? Can you get a medal for smoking?

SSJTWIZTA 02-02-2009 02:19 AM

if thats how you want to take it, man.

no. no medals yet.
im working on it though.

It only takes about28-30 days for it to be out of your system, so i'm sure he had plenty of time to flush it out before he had to test for the games..

i got your reference :thumbsup:

I'm more interested in how much the media will flog this story as with the California Octuplet lady. How hard will we dig in our heels of moral outrage? The degree will be a litmus test of the public mood on marijuana use.

I wonder if he will really lose a bunch of sponshorship because of this?
How puritan are athletic sponsors anyways?
I wonder how the story would be different if it was Usain Bolt?

Look at that. He's just a guy who can swim really fast.

Craven Morehead 02-02-2009 06:09 PM

Even with 11 months to go, I predict this will go down as the non-event of the year.

No big deal.

Anxst 02-03-2009 03:56 PM

Why is this shit still illegal again?

The people who care about marijuana use will be outraged that he's being such a poor role model. The people who don't care about marijuana use...won't care.

Hey, just like some other olympians, he's "partying at an olympic level".

And if anyone gets that paraphrased quote..well, that would be impressive.

Well that would be nice but the Guitar Hero people and the Rosetta Stone people would probably get really skittish. I highly doubt he was smoking for over a year before the Olympics so it wouldn't show up in the drug tests. As long as he keeps a baseline level of fitness he really doesn't have to do any serious training for another two years or so. And since people only give a shit about swimming once every four years I think he deserves to toke up.

Maybe they'll make a new breakfast cereal in his honor:

Weedies. The breakfast of champions.

His actions should have no impact on the medals he won at Beijing, as smoking cannabis out of competition is not an offence under sport's international doping laws.
BBC NEWS | Americas | IOC backs Phelps over 'pot pipe'


weed can be out of your system in 2-3 days if your a very casual smoker.. it only takes 28-30 days if you smoke it daily..

bazkitcase5 02-03-2009 07:06 PM

at least 2 sponsors have come out and said they practically don't care

I wonder if that will change if they actually prosecute him for it:

Pot charge possible after Phelps' pipe photo - Yahoo! Sports

dippin 02-03-2009 07:11 PM

It is a shame that some wacko sheriff is going to try to gain some popularity and 15 minutes of fame because of this.

Speed_Gibson 02-03-2009 10:30 PM

This news ranked up there with the 8 gold medals (could say entire olympics) in the "Why should I care?" category

markd4life 02-04-2009 03:59 AM

Yeah it would make for a great 'above the influence' commercial right about now...

Glory's Sun 02-04-2009 05:50 AM

has anyone actually proven there was pot in the pipe?? I mean it "could" be used for that purpose but it could be used for other things as well..

I don't see how they could charge him for this? I mean that have NO WAY to figure out if that was weed/hash/tobacco/pcp/crack/seaweed in that thing. He isn't the OWNER of the pipe, which can only be charged as a weed pipe if there is weed in it. It's just stupid.

He passed the drug tests and won a lot of freaking medals. If they do try to arrest him, make sure he's not near the ocean so he can escape the cops and go join the rest of the mermen near the Lost City of Atlantis.

Plan9 02-04-2009 07:52 AM

Haha... Thanks, LordEden... I think I just heard the Flipper theme song!

roachboy 02-04-2009 08:05 AM

i can't imagine anyone giving a shit about this.

Plan9 02-04-2009 08:50 AM

CNN.com, FOXNews.com...

I'm waiting for the Onion to come up with something clever about this "news" booger, though.

You mean: "I CAN'T BREATHE, I CAN'T BREATHE... BUT I CAN FLY! AND KILL!"

powerclown 02-05-2009 10:02 PM

That's not just any bong, thats a Roor. The Bentley of bongs.


Meanwhile, over at Roor marketing: "Order now and receive 1 gallon of de-chlorinated, bong-ready pool water swum in by Michael Phelps!"

izzzzy 02-07-2009 04:16 AM

if thats the worst thing he's ever done, run hm for mayor.
