A very big disappointment... Michael Phelps and a bong!

Super star, world record holding athlete, Michael Phelps, was caught smoking out of a bong! The picture to the left says it all... but read Phelps' statement below, which addresses the photograph. 

"I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgement. 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." 

We have to say we are extremely disappointed in the athlete and spokesman. Maybe he needs to cut his break from swimming and go back to a disciplined and hard working scheduled lifestyle instead of partying in Las Vegas. 

With children and fans around the world looking up to the star athlete this was not a good move and we say EW, GROW UP!
