The Party's Over For Michael Phelps

It's back to the pool for Michael Phelps!

The Golden Boy was snapped at a Baltimore natatorium on Tuesday, his first appearance since his infamous bong photo surfaced in the tabloids.

Phelps has already made his apologies, but while his sponsors and even the Olympics are still down with him, a South Carolina law enforcement official is threatening to press charges.

Dude, take a hit!

Fellow Olympic swimmer Mark Spitz, whose gold medal record Phelps broke, said, "As strictly a fan, I feel badly for Michael and the situation he has put himself in. I think no one would wish this on anyone, especially the person that gave us a summer like no other in 2008."

Don't fuck up again, Phelps!

Now….

Time to lose that beer belly!

      Michael Phelps has shown us that someone can recreationally smoke pot and still be a successful and productive member of society. He should apologize for apologizing



    2. 2

      marijuana is NOT a drug. it's a medicinal plant.

      the hysteria surrounding weed in this country is embarrassing and shameful. when will people finally educate themselves and understand that this plant is a beautiful gift from nature put here to help and heal all of us?



    3. 3

      You think he has a beer belly? geez perez



    4. 4

      After Sarah Palin, I can stomach a lot of hypocritical stupidity, but I draw the line at Perez Hilton lecturing anyone that "Drugs are bad."



    5. 5

      His face looks okay in that pic.



    6. 6

      It's P-O-T, not crack, for God's sake. Get over it.



    7. 7

      Love him!
      Wish him well.
      Fuck S Carolina.
      Hope he gets some friends he can trust.
      HUGE LESSON!
      Hope he learns it.



    8. 8

      Isn't it Mark Spitz?



    9. 9

      Who cares? Legalize pot, not Mexicans!



    10. 10

      i love weed. and you forgot to mention how hot he looks there.. even his face!



    11. 11

      Did you just say 'time to lose the beer belly'? are you looking in the mirror and writing about yourself fat body??? Did you fail to see him in the olympics and realize that he is in peek physical condition. when you metabolize that fast you can drink all you fucking want and you burn it off in hours. YOu truely are a fucktard and someone should take you outside and beat you with a stick.



    12. 12

      Mark Spitz, not Mike sweetie. I forget how young you are :)



    13. 13

      not a hit and run

      geeeeeeeez!



    22. 22

    23. 23

      he needs to come to canada where no one gives a shit who takes the odd bong hit..



    24. 24

      It's MARK Spitz . . . not Mike Spitz!!!!
      c'mon Perez . . . you grew up in the 70's!
      SHEESH!



    25. 25

      Phelps doesn't have a beer belly! YOU'RE CRAZY! he's wearing a puffy jacket, he still has like at LEAST a 6 pack!



    26. 26

      Fuck off - it's just pot. If it wasn't for the damn conservatives, it would be legal by now.



    27. 27

      Yes. It is MARK Spitz. Jesus.



    28. 28

      It's Mark Spitz.

    29. fiona says – reply to this


      29

      Whatever. My prediction is that the US will legalize marijuana and sap every dollar they can out of the legal use of hemp and pot. It is about time.



    30. 30

      he shouldn't have to apologize for doing something thats just a plant! he can still be an awesome swimmer.
      and beer belly? ha your the one to talk perez.



    31. 31

      Mike Spitz? It's Mark Spitz.



    32. 32

      He doesn't look bad in this photo - Also this photo just shows you how young he is- Leave the guy alone already, he's not a hero just a good swimmer.



    33. 33

      Mark Spitz :)



    34. 34

      hahahahaaaa who cares he just won a bunch of olympic medals dang USA wooohoooo



    35. 35

      Ugh, who cares? Yes, he's an Olympian, but hes a 23 year old, too! It's not like he's shooting up heroine, living on Medicaid. Give him a break.



    36. 36

      Oh holy Drama Queens! Get over it, pot, really?!?!? We LOVE to find things to flip out and bitch about! He obviously broke all of those records in China and I am sure he smoked pot before that too… did he end up like all of those stupid anti-pot commercials?!? No he ended up an American hero and a Olympian superstar, so booo get over it it's just chronic!



    37. 37

      It wouldnt be that big of a deal if he didnt already have a DUI and a gambling problem.. The guy is an idiot

    38. OSSIM says – reply to this


      38

      I Love the hair! SEXY!
      Let everyone smoke pot. If pot was legal, nobody would stress about getting high. It's like having lots of candy and not caring if you eat it all.

    39. Tonka says – reply to this


      39

      NOT against pot just against BS and being a "role model" for all-american boys when my kid comes out at 16 and gets kicked off the swim team because he is "queer" yeah sorry. If your straight FUGLY role model has fallen from grace, OWTFN?



    40. 40

      jesus perez, why don't you lose your apple-tini belly and get into the pool yourself?



    41. 41

      It is illegal and unconstitutional to press charges. All drug and marijuana laws apply to the possession of drugs, not the intake of drugs. The law cannot control what you ingest or put into your body. The only way they could press charges would be if they searched him and found drugs. Not only that, but there is no actual physical proof that what was in that bong was an illegal substance.



    42. 42

      Mike Spitz? You are seriously a dumb fuck Perez. I'm starting to think you do this shit on purpose because you know you will automatically get 500 extra posts calling you a fuck up, which you can use in your inflated web site figures.



    43. 43

      I think it's hysterical but he's still a DOUCHE!



    44. 44

      Leave the boy alone!!!! All this is, is that cop wants his 15 min of fame. Everybody else is over it already.



    45. 45

      Re: tigrrrlilly – I couldn't agree more! He represents a larger percentage of the population than some people care to admit, and it scares the hell out of them. Marijuana is illegal because of politics and fear, not based on any 'great harm it causes America's youth'.

    46. WTF?! says – reply to this


      46

      He looks actually kind of hot in this picture



    47. 47

      Perez is a dumbass… he can't even copy and paste correctly. The only one who has a flabby belly is PERVez and saggy boobs and an extremely large head.



    48. 48

      Who cares!?!?! Ima keep hitting the bong



    49. 49

      He doesnt look so fugly in this pic



    50. 50

      he looks good here.



    51. 51

      what a dumb ass



    52. 52

      Just move to Beautiful British Columbia - we have the good shit and nobody really cares.



    53. 53

      Mark Spitz…."feel badly…". What, do his hands not work properly? Poor usage - he should go back to school. Phelps should be kissing major sponsor ass.



    54. 54

      Re: BBBoricua loves Angels & Demons… – Time to leave .talk to u later!!!



    55. 55

      Why the fuck do Americans go so batty over pot? For gods sake, he was taking a hit at a party - it's not like he's in training right now, it's not like there was a group of children around him. He's an adult and is allowed to make his own decisions - pot is not going to screw your life over, trust me.

      "Don't fuck up again Phelps"??? God Perez, you're as lame as the South Carolina law enforement official - leave that man alone, seriously, all this shit over a bong toke? I think the US has it's priorities a little screwed up… go after the hard shit, the drugs that are going to fuck a person over. Not pot.

      Let adults smoke marijuana. It's a lot less intoxicating than alcohol. I'd rather be around a group of laid back potheads than a group of obnoxious drunkards.



    56. 56

      UM, Mark Spitz, Idiot. Mike Spitz is probably what some dude Mike did after he got done giving u oral!



    57. 57

      lay off it just weed calm doooown peeps



    58. 58

      blah, blah, blah……. phelps is young



    59. 59

      Its MARK Spitz, Perezito. Not Mike.



    60. 60

      He made his bed and now he has to lie in it!



    61. 61

      wow he looks hot in that photo. i like him anyway, but damn!

      and perez, you are NOT allowed to call michael phelps fat. EVER.



    62. 62

      We have paparazzi in Baltimore?
      Scary!
      Love the hair. Hehe.



    63. 63

      Re: Canadian Girl – i totally agree with you. i, personally am not a fan of pot, but im not against it either



    64. 64

      i dont understand why everyones making such a big deal outta this , he just proved to the world that you can smoke marijuana and still be successful , its a fucking plant its not bad or a drug at all ! ! sooo many people smoke weed and still do very successful things with their lives … i bet half the people that smoke weed we would never suspect that they would .. considering that it is a natural plant it was obviously put here for a reason , so everyone should just smoke a j and chill the fuck out .. i believe that weed was put here to keep the peace and instead some people are out there tryin to arrest poeple and what not for just tryin to get a break and be happy !!!!



    65. 65

      and its mark. wow get yourr names straightt before you write stuff. your dissapoiting me alot lately perez



    66. 66

      If South Carolina wants to press charges based on a picture without physical evidence, then they should press charges on every person with a public photo of drug use, underage drinking, etc. Obvious use of 'making an example'. Start scouring MySpace and Facebook, South Carolina.



    67. 67

      Mother natures gift,smoke up. Way better than anti- deppressants.



    68. 68

      pleaseeeeeee tell me what the fuck is the big deal?

      wow phelps using the fucking bong

      CALL THE POLICE! OMG.

      it was weeeeeed, who gives a flyingggggg fuck, if its not your life whattt does everyone else on this planet care?

    69. 69

      He actually looks GREAT in that picture. Great head of hair; Very cute. Beer belly? Are you crazy Mario?



    70. 70

      He looks goooood high



    71. 71

      it's not like he was caught shooting up steroids with jose canseco

      such a stupid controversy



    72. 72

      Perez you are a fucking stupid piece of shit. He doesn't have a beer belly idiot.



    73. 73

      It's MARK Spitz. Sorry, I'm a little late.



    77. 77

      I love him!!! Weed no weed whatever. who his age doesn't smoke occasionaly.. he's a prime example that pot heads aren't losers. losers are losers.

      Re: tigrrrlilly

      Oooohhh, tigrrrlilly, an advocate after my own heart.

    79. k-lee says – reply to this


      79

      Wow he looks sexy! I want him.

      Leave him alone already! He apologized, what else do you want from him?



    80. 80

      oh gimmie a break!! nearly everyone does it!! Its not a big deal, the cops are just trying to find a way to bring him down when so many look up to him. its not a big deal and nobody is flipping out about it but the cops!! I garuntee it some of the cops do it themselves!!



    81. 81

      What an ugly cock sucking loser. He should be stripped of his medals. Seriously, what does that say about being an upstanding athlete and citizen. While I understand there is no harm in smoking a little dubage from time to time and he's young and whatever… but fuck, you give that shit up when you take on this kind of role. Loser.



    82. 82

      its MARK spitz…not Mike…



    83. 83

      Re: tigrrrlilly

      The point is it's illegal. He chose to do an illegal activity. We can argue until the cows come home that it's not bad for you and that "everyone" is doing it… but that's not the point here.



    84. 84

      All of you non-educated young folks are missing the point. I think we can all agree that pot is mild… it should not be illegal. etc. etc. BUT, the fact remains… pot IS illegal in this country and an Olympic athelete and medalist caught doing it SHOULD be fined in some way, shape, or form. Perhaps he was smoking because he's depressed… ya know, being all ugly and shit.



    85. 85

      he's an idiot,he's recently had a DUI now he's doing bong hits in front of others who are going to try and catch him doing something bad so they can make a buck capturing it on camera.i always thought he looked like Forrest Gumps more retarded cousin,but now he's acting like it.dude had they world at his flipper feet and it's all going down the bong water.
      he shouldn't get any special treatment or given any passes for his bad behavior,he's a grown man and should start acting like it,not act like a teen at prom.



    86. 86

      This is SO STUPID. If that idiot police officer charges Phelps off a PICTURE, he better charge EVERYONE smoking pot in a picture. What a dumbass. I don't even like Phelps, but he's being exploited because he's a celeb and it's WRONG.



    87. 87

      FIRST OF ALL: who are we to say he needs to lose his beer belly? he will be back in shape in two weeks tops. he can kick faster than most people can swim with fins.
      NEXT: reality check- most athletes smoke pot. even more of them drink. and then drive. at least he has given up that nasty habit.
      FINALLY: its Mark Spitz' record. not mike.



    88. 88

      It is so not safe having one's picture taken in this here digital age.
      That being said, the only problem I have with this whole debacle is understanding why some people insist on using a bong to smoke their weed. Really, it cashes the weed so quick and a plump doobie is a far superior way to go.



    89. 89

      Fuck off - it's just pot. If it wasn't for the damn conservatives, it would be legal by now.
      Re: Amirra

      F U. Real conservatives(see Libertarians and other sundry conservatives who actually HATE the government) would love to see the government stay out of this issue and leave it up to individual states to make their own laws regarding mary jane.



    90. 90

      Who cares that he smoked some weed, everyone does it in there youth/life some time



    91. 91

      I'd rather be around a group of laid back potheads than a group of obnoxious drunkards.
      Re: Canadian Girl

      Agreed. Decriminalize that shit. Much ado about nothing and the waste of resources and tax dollars is disgusting…



    92. 92

      He could have lied, seriously. Ummm..It was Hookah or that wasn't Marijuana, or that was not me! ANYTHING He did not, He stood up for his mistake, and is ready to pay for the repercussions. People LET IT GO



    93. 93

      Whatever, he can do what he wants, im loving his hair atm… he doesnt look anywhere near as ugly in the face anymore.



    94. 94

      Holy Shit it might not just be the hair! Has he had a nose job? It looks smaller and cuter than usual. He'll never be able to swim the same if he did.



    95. 95

      Mmm what beer belly twat!!!????? He is puuuurrrrfect! Stop ponting at someone and calling him/her fat… just look at yourself in a mirror and deal with your fat obnoxious reality… not even black makes a change…



    96. 96

    97. 97

      yeah drugs are bad….. but weed is good!

      98

      i dont understand why it is such a big deal.
      who hasnt taken drugs?
      it was obviously before he started training for the olympics so i think everyone should just leave him be.
      if he was taking enhancing drugs i would understand what the fuss was about



    99. 99

      Can anyone explain what the big deal is? Jeezzz…
      All the lazy underachievers of this world - Michael Phelps owns you!



    100. 100

      The real asshole is the person who took the picture from a side without Phelps realizing it. If he did, why didn't he grab the phone from her/his hand and throw it on the floor, stomping on it with his shoe. Mike, you have to be more agressive with those paparrazis and wanna-be paparazzis. This asshole "photographer" made a lot of money on this picture.
