Michael Phelps

Michael Phelps Bong

So… apparently Michael Phelps was caught taking a hit from a bong. Nothing wrong with that (in my mind anyway). What I really don’t understand is why a British newspaper broke the story, rather than an American one, when the alleged event occurred in South Carolina. Why would the person who took the picture send it all the way to News of the World instead of one of the many fabulous tabloids in the States?

Want to know more? Check out the story at New York Daily NewsHuffPo or The Times.

    You know with a watch like that you’d think he could afford to wear a shirt that doesn’t look like he borrowed it from his buddy. Or maybe he’s just that real.

    I don’t see why some people are trippin out over this photo, so what if he’s doing a bong? THAT’s COOL!
    You think after winning 8 or so Olympic metals that deserves to do at least one hit? I mean come on now…
    No wonder people love him he’s real!
