Picture Reveals Golden Boy Michael Phelps Knows How To Use a Bong

Filed under: Drugs > Zportz > Busted! > Michael Phelps

phelpsbong.jpg

Could there be anything but marijuana in there????

Unlikely!

We're sure Michael Phelps is not having a Chico's kind of Super Bowl day!

The UK's News of the World scored a picture of Olympics poster child Michael Phelps taking a big bong hit of what is assumed to be marijuana.

The tabloid always get their hands on crazy, juicy stuff!

The photo of Phelps supposedly getting high was snapped at a University of South Carolina party back in early November.

He was apparently visiting a university girl he was 'secretly' seeing.

We thought he was with that Vegas cocktail ho in November!

Play on, player!

One of the partygoers told the tabloid:

"You could tell Michael had smoked before. He grabbed the bong and a lighter and knew exactly what to do. 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. Michael ended up getting a little paranoid, though, because before too long he looked like he was nervous and ran out of the place.”

What an idiot!

The Golden Boys' corporate sponsors sure won't be pleased!

When Phelps' agents caught wind that the NOTW was going to run the pic, they supposedly got down on their hands and knees for mercy. The gold medal winner's money men offered the paper,

1. Phelps as a NOTW columnist for three years
2. Host for NOTW events
3. Advertising money from Phelps' corporate sponsors

We're glad the NOTW said no and ran with it!

More importantly, Golden Boy might be out of the London 2012 Olympics because of this eff up.

A law that bans athletes for four-years for taking drugs has just hit the Olympic rule book.

The US Olympics Committee, USA Swimming and Phelps’ coach Bob Bowman have refused to comment.

We wanna hear what Momma Debbie Phelps has to say!

    103

    good luck proving that there's marijuana or even ANYTHING inside that bong. you can't even see smoke or the contents. this is a sham.



  4. 104

    how long did this take you?

    ugh, there are war crimes happening all over the world that we're witnessing in the plain light of day, and this guys career could be over because he smoked some weed…
    yes the world has officially gone MAD.



  5. 105

    it is 100% him, he released a statement about the picture. ill find the link on espn.com..

    i haven't done it personally, things like that aren't for me.
    he should've known better, he does have a reputation to uphold. millions of dollars worth actually. silly guy.



  6. 106

    dude that's not cool… who cares if he smokes some pot? it's not like he's snorting coke, doing steroids or shooting smack. fuck off. punish serious crimes.



  7. 107

    For all you so & so's who wanna talk shit about Perez & say it's not him, umm I have news for you, Phelps came out released a statement. HE ADMITTED IT! IT WAS HIM! Perez's apology line is to the left.

    ((( dingdong )))))))))



  9. 109

    it's just weed



  10. 110

    Btw, I completely agree with legalizing pot. It is a crying shame that pot, which has proven health benefits, is illegal, but cigarettes are sold on every corner killing people by the tens of thousands every year.



  11. 111

    Good for him,more people should smoke pot and chill out.



  12. 112

    i would hate to smoke with him. you know he takes huge hits, he has all that lung capacity and all that. otherwise who cares?



  13. 113

    Hey you fag perez, just cause he won't sleep with you doesn't mean you hve to mess him up! Shut up you ugly low class hispanic trash. Your mom is such a dumb b for not aborting you!



  14. 114

    Hey you fag perez, just cause he won't sleep with you doesn't mean you hve to mess him up! Shut up you ugly low class hispanic trash. Your mom is such a dumb b for not aborting you!!



  15. 115

    hahah i go to USC! and he was at one of our football games in november! that party must have been during that weekend.. he was everywhere on campus that weekend.. too bad he wasn't smart about what he was doing..

  18. 118

    who cares if he takes a couple hits he deserves to relax. but he really needs to work on not getting caught



  19. 119

    Hey you fag perez, just cause he won't sleep with you doesn't mean you hve to mess him up! Shut up you ugly low class hispanic trash. Your mom is such a dumb b for not aborting you!!!!!!

  20. Laury says – reply to this


    120

    HAHAHAHAHAHA. Everyone thought he was soooooo perfect. Well guess what: nobody is, especially athletes. Phelps got too famous for his own good, you can tell fame got to his head. Then again, so what if he smokes pot once in a while? As long as he doesn't smoke before a competition, who cares.



  21. 121

    Hey you fag perez, just cause he won't sleep with you doesn't mean you hve to mess him up! Shut up you ugly low class hispanic trash. Your mom is such a dumb b for not aborting you!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey you fag perez, just cause he won't sleep with you doesn't mean you hve to mess him up! Shut up you ugly low class hispanic trash. Your mom is such a dumb b for not aborting you!!!!!!!!!! You fat F**

    Hey you fag perez, just cause he won't sleep with you doesn't mean you hve to mess him up! Shut up you ugly low class hispanic trash. Your mom is such a dumb b for not aborting you!!!!!!!!!! You fat F**&&



  24. 124

    legalize it! Poor guy. I hope this doesn't affect his Olympic career. Its just a bong. It doesn't even look like him!



  25. 125

    To anyone who thinks smoking pot is not a big deal, then you won't mind if your emergency doctor takes a hit before he works on you or one of your family members, and if your pilot takes a hit before he flies your plane, and yes Michael is not any of these, but smoking is a big deal when it impares your performance and judgement, and hurts someone you love.



  26. 126

    Are you sure that's him? It doesn't look like Michael Phelps to me…



  27. 127

    How can you tell if this is him??? Who id's people from the side anyway? This is stupid Perez.



  28. 128

    What a load of CRAP. The guy has worked so hard to get where he is, why shouldn't he be allowed to enjoy himself sometimes…Especially after winning as many medals as he did!!! I think it's garbage that the olympic committee can enforce such a stupid rule, because after all there's not many people that haven't tried pot at least once in their lives!!!



  29. 129

    Re: pereztexas – oh really, so did he go swimming compitition afterwards? yeah you are right i won't get into plane if i see my pilot smoking weed before taking off but the poor guy is in a party…..PARTY having fun with others.HE IS OFF DUTY (SEA KITTEN)…..LOL sure his dad ZEUS won't mind.



  30. 130

    well, he sure has a lot of hair if that even is him, but even so… he's a college kid. whoooo cares.



  31. 131

    it's him. he released a statement saying he was acting the way a 23 year old acts or something. it was nbc earlier.



  32. 132

    oh and remember after the 2004 olympics…he got busted for DUI and he was underage…



  33. 133

    sad. i hope he still gets to participate in the Olympics in 2012
    not like it matters there are no more records left to break



  34. 134

    It doesn't even look like him! And if it was him BIG FUCKING DEAL. I'm sure a ton of those athletes smoke pot, they just don't get caught. This is so stupid.



  35. 135

    I take my comment back about this being stupid. I just read that Phelps admits that it is him in the photo. What a dopehead.



  36. 136

    Big fucking deal…the conservative bible bashing pockets of America need to shut up and keep their opinions to themselves. Does him smoking a bong offend your Puritan asses?



  37. 137

    Oh Jeez…hes earned a bong, at least!



  38. 138

    who cares? Anyone reaping succes that of Micheal Phelps deserves to smoke a bong or two.



  39. 139

    Oo he looks really hot in that picture though.



  40. 140

    This sucks, but there are so many different ways he can get out of this picture. There is no actual marijuana shown in this picture and the actual bong is legal, so yeah. Plus no one wants Phelps out of the Olympics.



  41. 141

    Phelps statement ……………….I engaged in behaviour which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment," Phelps said in a statement to the Associated Press. "I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me.

    "For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again."

    Next time I wont be caught…heheehe



  42. 142

    And 17 minutes ago he released a statement saying the photo is real



  43. 143

    OMG that would sooo suck if thats him OHHHH MAJOR SUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!



  44. 144

    he confirmed that it is him.

    but, you know who else smoked weed?
    our president obama.



  45. 145

    you're a cockroach perez. if this was damaging to him, then why run it? why not leave well enough alone?

    i thought you were a decent guy but you're just a loser.



  46. 146

    Pass the dutchie to the left



  47. 147

    OMG !! DOES THIS MEAN HIS CAREER AS AN OLYMPIAN IS OVA ??? GOOD, NOW HE WILL HAVE TIME TO FUCK ME ON A REGULAR BASIS !!!



  48. 148

    YEAH! That should make it clear to the world that all sorts of people smoke pot and don't go on to become heroine addicts or criminals…some can become gold medalists. Remember the snowboarding dude from Canada who got busted smoking after he won the gold earlier that day? But, the question begs: why would he let anyone take his photo doing that?



  49. 149

    Jeez, that doesn't even look like him… With that said, Bode Miller and Shawn White are well known to smoke pot. That's how they cope with being so horrible all the time. But they are both in the upcoming Winter Olympics. Actually, now that I think about it, Bode was yanked because he sucked so bad in 2006. I don't know about Shawn White, who is now up to crystal meth off of hooker's asses, so he's probably out, too, because he will suck in the time trials. Ok never mind, ummm, drugs are bad, mKay?



  50. 150

    Dude …Where's my Bong????
    Well he's probably got tremendous lung capacity…
    So he probably gets Stoneder than the Rest of the Stoners
    Whoever it may be ;p

  51. 151

    Re: J0rdan – You're a moron. Marijuana grows out of the ground? So does tobacco, but the effects they have are completely different. Do you enjoy sounding stupid?



  52. 152

    doesn't matter if we think weed is a drug or not, if it is legal or not, because some over the counter meds are banned. what matters is if he had a POSITIVE BLOOD TEST AFTER A SWIM MEET. Did they have a blood or urine test after the party? so, how are they going to prove he did it or not? it is all heresay and we all know how reliable a bunch of drunken/high college students , and let us not forget the oh so lovable hollywood gossip people. Besides, what college students talk like that-'he was as natural with a bong in his hand as he is in a swimming pool'? sounds like a would be writer OR someone making a lot of crap up



  53. 153

    Re: pereztexas – ok, figures you're from Texas. Go to church, it's Sunday.



  54. 154

    Its OBVIOUSLY him. Phelps has already made a statement about the photo.



  55. 155

    Re: MISTERMARK – Pot is practically legal? It's actually not, and probably won't be ever in America.



  56. 156

    Big deal, so he caught a buzz. Alcohol is much worst. Obama needs to legalize it. Pot might even be a way to create jobs instead of filling up our prisons.Instead Obama wants to drug test everyone on unemployment/public assistance. What a hypocrite…



  57. 157

    I LOVE NOTW!!!!!! hahahahahah Phelps is not only an ugly motherfucker but he is also stupid! GO mew of the world! im glad that they exposed the truth about fishboy!



  58. 158

    That is Phepls because he just came out with a national apology this morning and fessed up to it. Also, if you are going to do pot and you are in the spot light, maybe you should be a bit more careful where you let loose…I'm just saying.



  59. 159

    Re: todayIsignedup – Attention stupid: Pot is still ILLEGAL regardless of the fact that it isn't affecting anyone else's rights. Judging by your logic, all drug use should be legal since they aren't violating anyone else's rights. People still get busted everyday for smoking pot and doing drugs when they haven't harmed anyone else but themselves, so don't call people "stupid americans" when you don't even know the law. Why are you blaming Perez for bashing something that is illegal in this country? Go into a police station and smoke some pot then if you don't think its illegal…since its your "God given right" and all…and see what happens.



  60. 160

    hello



  61. 161

    Smoking a bong is soooooo like sucking dick.



  62. 162

    i dont understand the fuss. so what? he smoked pot… and so has everyone else. people just get TOO conservative.

  65. 165

    Re: pereztexas – I agree completely. And even if people are making the argument that he was at a party, not in a competition, he should still be aware of the consequences, especially with being in the spot light so much. If something is illegal then it is illegal, regardless of if "everyone is doing it". He should have known that doing this could cost him participation in the next Olympics…which in the end should have been more important to him than getting high at that party.



  66. 166

    Nothing wrong with that! Just goes to show that it could be de-criminalized, I mean c'mon the guy won a gold medal, if he wants a puff once in a blue moon, I say he deserves it.



  67. 167

    Fortunately for Michael Phelps, that's not an incriminating angle. Although it looks very much like him and probably is him, his people can argue that it is not him, but meerly someone who looks a lot like him - and so he'll get away with it. There isn't enough detail of his face that you could actually prove is him. He's America's golden boy at the moment, and they'll probably save his ass.



  68. 168

    OMG! He was smoking pot! It's the end of the world as we know it.

    Christ, people need to grow up. Nobody talked about how unsuitable it was for him to get drunk and hang out with hookers. There's no difference, except for the archaic laws that keep weed illegal when you can buy booze from any corner store.



  69. 169

    Yeah I don't care if he smokes. As long as he isn't some major pot head. Ihope that people don't make a major deal out of this. I would still do him silly.

    Phelps comments to BBC NEWS
    Swimming superstar Michael Phelps has admitted to "regrettable behaviour", after a UK newspaper published a photo of him apparently smoking cannabis.
    Mr Phelps, 23, who won eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics last year, was pictured by the News of the World inhaling from a glass pipe.
    The picture was taken in November at a party in the University of South Carolina, the newspaper said.
    Mr Phelps apologised to fans and said the incident would not be repeated.
    In a statement sent to the Associated Press news agency, the swimmer acknowledged the photo was authentic.
    "I engaged in behaviour which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment," he said



  72. 172

    Let's cut him some slack. He's a young guy under tremendous pressure. Stay strong, Michael!

  73. nh22 says – reply to this


    173

    Good grief, if he wants to get his smoke on, let him! He's freakin' deserved it! And really, if he's been sparking up the doobage, and STILL won 8 gold medals, then good for him, cause marijuana isn't really known to "enhance" people's swimming abilities.

  74. MissT says – reply to this


    174

    I am a nobody, and I know that you should NEVER do anything in view of others that you don't want posted all over the internet! I mean come on! What was he thinking. People everywhere are money crazy, loyalty means nothing to the majority of the world! So why would you go to a party with TONS of people who all have cell phones and do something like that? Do it at home, in private don't go out and do that then act surprised that someone took a damn picture of it!



  75. 175

    First off, it's not like weed is a performance enhancing drug….. my b/f can vouch for that. It basically provides 3 main feelings…..
    Hungry,
    Happy,
    Sleepy…….. let the guy smoke……like a champ!!!!



  76. 176

    I don't think it proves that it's him. It doesn't even look that much like him.



  77. 177

    Bullshit I say. Marijuana is not a performance enhancing drug. It is a drug just as alcohol is. Is alcohol on the olympic commitee's list of drugs athletes can not do? If pot is, booze sure as hell better be too. The news of the world is just a 3rd rate rag. What a creative way to cheat so the british swimmers might stand a chance at gold in 2012.



  78. 178

    nice watch



  79. 179

    hmm thats stupid to put your career in jepordy like that. if it him of course. is it jst me or does he have a resemblence of L.C's douche ex-boyfriend Jason??!



  80. 180

    there's no proof it was marijuana in that bowl



  81. 181

    he's 23, he's a kid. kids fuck up occasionally. they better let him compete in 2012.



  82. 182

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…PS…this was on Drudge 12 hours before this site. The fucking madonna custody story was the headline for almost a full fucking day…talk about OLD ASS.

  85. 185

    P.S. THAT'S NOT EVEN HIM!



  86. 186

    why would he let some take a picture of him. he had to of known they did.



  87. 187

    that sucks for him..he should have known that this would eff up his career



  88. 188

    That doesn't even look like phelps.



  89. 189
