Is This Phelps' Gal Pal???

It’s getting ass season for Michael Phelps!

The Australian media is asserting that the 8-time gold winner got cozy with Aussie swimmer Stephanie Rice this week in Beijing.

Team Oz swimming insiders say the pair were very close at a party organized by swimming star Ian Thorpe on Monday night AND on Tuesday a shirtless Phelps supposedly got ‘friendly’ with Rice at a Speedo promotion.

Don’t settle!

Work it while you can, Mikey (but be safe!).

There are many lovely ladies (and gentlemen) who want a piece of Phelps’ gold!
