Michael Phelps: another fallen hero?

No sympathy.

no sympathy but it sucks this will tarnish his image a bit...really a pretty minor thing, we (certain western countries
with strict weed laws) make it out to be bigger than it is.
if it was a cig or chewing tobacco nobody would care...such a stigma with weed that i think is unecessary
 
If News Of The World is breaking the story be very suspect. If only British tabloids are the only ones with the story it's not going to cost him much at all, assuming it's real.

Who cares he alreadu scored a bunch of money for ????? Nice he won some medals but who's his audience to sell things to??

Gay teenage boys? Pretty much what I remember about our swim team.
 
No one is going to care that he smoked some weed.

That being said, olympic athletes normally have a very short shelf life for endorsements anyway. they are in one or maybe two olympics, 4 years apart and then are out of the public eye, for the most part.

If they are an ice skater they get to do those crappy sesame street on ice or other gigs.

yep, he was exceptional, but he just doesn't have the constant exposure of say a Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods.

go back to work on the Penske file, woman.

Phelps' income already has more than doubled from about $5 million a year before the Beijing Olympics. His lifetime earnings could top $100 million, Carlisle said, confirming an earlier report of this estimate.

The job of olympic stars is to make enough bank to set them for life. And considering his multi-million dollar contracts - looks like he's not only set, but his kids are set for life too. Prior olympic stars are out of the eye, but they still have their mega millions.

Ask Mark Spitz he was pissed no one bought him a ticket to China to watch this guy. Think Spitz pumps gas for a living. BTW he held the record for the most swimming medals before this guy.
 
Fucking dumb of him to be doing that shit in public, knowing everyone is gonna try to catch him doing some shady shit. He needs to buy a pound and smoke that shit at the crib.

Unfortunately for Phelps, most endorsement deals contain a 'morals clause' that can void it, require that the celeb pay back some of the up-front money, ect.
 
I hope not
Unfortunately some did view him as such and hence their "idol" or hero has just fallen out of the sky. Now is just another mere mortal who smokes weed like many other mere mortals.

Funny how NBC used Phelps to increase their ratings. He was on every like 15 seconds. Phelps Phelps Phelps.

And once the Olympics were over - they didn't even offer him a guest role on anything. One SNL skit and they told him to take a hike. Welcome to the world of Hollywood kids. They won't even return his calls.

As for morals clause - a good agent will demand full payment upon commercial or start of campaign. When you're at the top - and everyone's bidding for your services - you can demand what you want. Any loophole, trust me, will always be utilized to get out of paying - any agent knows this.

Hard to tell if it's really him. You'd think if someone took that pic, they'd take a full frontal shot of him toking it up/slamming down beers/etc.
 
eh--so what??


is that really "him"? could be a pic of so many other guys who faintly resemble "him"....
 
OH Ma Gawd - call the FBI - he was caught smoking pot!

Half the police force go home at night and do just that... So does most of the security profession, actually so does most of everyone...

Media hypin and stirrin the pot again...
 
Honestly, Michael is just happy to be in the news again!

The absolute WORST thing that can happen to a celebrity .... is for people to STOP talking about them.

He didn't inhale and he didn't enjoy it.
 
hes stupid for doing that in public.
his business is his own business, but he should of realized the vultures are always trying to pin something on stars.

next time toke up at home michael.
