Michael Phelps Caught With Bong? From Poker to Pot?

Feb 1 2009 - 10:55am

The News of the World Sunday featured a photograph allegedly of 14-time Olympic gold medalist, Michael Phelps, smoking a cannabis (marijuana) bong.  The headline and caption of the photo read, cleverly enough, "What a Dope".

"THIS is the astonishing picture which could destroy the career of the greatest competitor in Olympic history," the paper proclaimed.

That's doubtful. 

Phelps has been sowing is oats ever since winning all those medals in Beijing this past summer.

His first stop:  Strippers in Vegas where the lad looked a little out of place (as if he had never been at a strip club). 

The main stop on his Vegas world wind tour was not the strip clubs or the STRIP for that matter, but rather a learning session with the legendary poker pro, Doyle Brunson, in order to help hone his own poker skills.

Phelps is looking to go pro on the poker circuit and there have been rumors he might eventually wind up as a celebrity poker player fo Doyles own poker room         .

Getting back to the bong...there is nothing to indicate Phelps was smoking anything out of it.  Sure, that's the general purpose of the pipes....but this is a curious kinda guy.  Maybe it was some sort of science experiment. The alleged photo does not even look like Michael Phelps.  But we do love our weekly dose of News of the World, so who knows?

What do you think?  Comment below.

Michael Phelps smoking weed

The guy is 23 for christ sake, let him do his thing, and for all those who say "ohh he a role model" Well now is a good time for the parents to PARENT! Maybe even have the drug talk, rather then expecting D.A.R.E. programs to do the work for you. jackasses

I haven't found the verses

I haven't found the verses that deal with pot and eternal damnation. I did find the ones about "...let he who is without sin cast the first stone...". Wouldn't you like to know what the Savior was writiing in the dust when he said that? Could it have been a list of the sins committed by the adultererous woman's accusers? Seriously though, let's talk about your spelling.

LUSTMONGEROR YOU DO NOT EVEN OAN A BIBLE!

READ THIS!!! God's Word warns against these things. Romans 13:12-14, "The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying: but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof."

it's a freaking natural

it's a freaking natural plant and i think it's time that the 30% of the population that has never smoked figures out that the other 70% has, and people who have never done it are actually the minority
