Sheriff investigates whether Michael Phelps smoked pot
i would waste time and taxpayers money on a bong rip too.
who gets locked up for one bong rip? NOBODY. they cannot prove he had anymore than that so he should not be locked up. plus i am sure he does not have a record so that will weigh.Sava700 wrote:saw this coming... if he's guilty then I hope they lock him up just like they have normal kids there that have done it.
it only takes one time... but if they prove it was weed then yes he should be locked up for it or treated just like any normal person would.Gixxer wrote:who gets locked up for one bong rip?

btw,,,they cannot even prove it was weed.
even IF they prove it, he will not be locked up.Sava700 wrote:it only takes one time... but if they prove it was weed then yes he should be locked up for it or treated just like any normal person would.
thats fine as long as he's treated like anyone else in that circumstance to make it fair regardless of any amount of medals he's won.Gixxer wrote:even IF they prove it, he will not be locked up.
this will go no further than "looking into it". IF (and he won't) gets convicted, he will get a fine and costs.Sava700 wrote:thats fine as long as he's treated like anyone else in that circumstance to make it fair regardless of any amount of medals he's won.
Nah, his DUI arrest didn't seem to hurt him.Gixxer wrote:what about alcohol/liquor?
Its not but the media doesnt know what to do now that Obama is elected, the earth isnt destroyed, and no sea was parted.Easto wrote:I do think he has some responsibility as a role model/celebrity but I can't figure out why this is news or the need to report it.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/02/ ... topStoriesCereal and snack maker Kellogg Co. says it will not renew its sponsorhip contract with Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps because he has acknowledged smoking marijuana last fall.
The Battle Creek, Mich.-based company said Thursday that Phelps's behavior - caught on camera and published Sunday - is "not consistent with the image of Kellogg."
The company put Phelps on boxes of its Frosted Flakes and Corn Flakes.
Separately Thursday, Phelps was suspended from competition for three months by USA Swimming, the sport's national governing body.
USA Swimming also cut off its financial support to Phelps for the same three-month period, effective from Thursday.
"This is not a situation where any anti-doping rule was violated, but we decided to send a strong message to Michael because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero," the federation said in a statement.
right, it's a flippin' bong rip for craps sake.mountainman wrote:So for three months someone else might be able to win a race. Haha!
BFD regarding the Phelps thing. Sheesh.
he is already set for life. sooner than later this will be forgot about and he will win some big races and flash that big smile and he will get others. when the Olympics come around again and he wins more gold medals the sponsors again will come pouring in.YeOldeStonecat wrote:The kid just lost a lot of potential money....all those sponsorships throughout upcoming years.
like vick!!!!! Are you serious!!!!sava700 wrote:i'd like to see those that drop him sue for the money back like many did against vick and the dog issue. He's broken the law i hope he gets whats coming to him.
Still breaking the law.. its the same thing. He should be treated like anyone else would doing so. I hope he has to pay all that money back too!Gixxer wrote:like vick!!!!! Are you serious!!!!
Felony dog ring!!!! Bong rip!!! Uhhhhhhhhhhhh
Speeding is breaking the law also. If he had been ticketed for speeding, would you still feel the same way?Sava700 wrote:Still breaking the law.. its the same thing. He should be treated like anyone else would doing so. I hope he has to pay all that money back too!
So when you broke the speed limit this morning on the way to work (accidentally, of course), you should be treated the same as a serial child rapist?Sava700 wrote:Still breaking the law.. its the same thing.

No what I'm saying is if I broke the speed limit I should get a ticket just as he does. If the contacts he's signed say he can't represent the company in a manner such as displaying drug use then he broke contact and I'd ask for the money back. If I went out and smoked a crack pipe and I get locked up for a weekend for it or a year in jail cause it happens everyday for normal everyday people then he shouldn't be treated any differently regardless of status or medal count.mountainman wrote:So when you broke the speed limit this morning on the way to work (accidentally, of course), you should be treated the same as a serial child rapist?
Same thing, right? Breaking the law and all.
dude you cannot compare crack to weed.Sava700 wrote:No what I'm saying is if I broke the speed limit I should get a ticket just as he does.

Breaking the law is Breaking the Law = Same thing.. thats what I mean!
Oh and I didn't break the speed limit on the way in this morning.. my wife dropped me off
jesus.. LOL I'm not trying to really.. I'm just saying I've seen people around here get caught with weed and smoking it..get locked up for a year or more for it. If thats the case I think he should get the same.. he shouldn't be treated differently. The way your arguing everything seems as if you think its not a big deal that he did it and shouldn't get anything. he should be treated just like anyone else that has done what he's done. As for the sponsers well I'd pull his contracts and demand the money back if he violated certain parts of it doing this.Gixxer wrote:dude you cannot compare crack to weed.
they might have got locked up for a year, but it was because they had quantity.Sava700 wrote:jesus.. LOL I'm not trying to really..
