Didn't that article seem a little over the top?

"Spokesman Clifford Bloxham offered us an extraordinary deal not to publish our story, saying Phelps would become our columnist for three years, host events and get his sponsors to advertise with us.

In return, he asked that we kill Phelps' bong picture. Bloxham said: "It's seeing if something potentially very negative for Michael could turn into something very positive for the News of the World."

He stressed that the swimmer had taken 1,500 drug tests and never failed one."

Really?

I know its the internet so is newsoftheworld.co.uk a reliable source?

I can't even tell it's Phelps. Anyways, a 20-something guy smoking pot, what a surprise.

You can tell it's him because of the backwards baseball cap and those big ass ears. It looks like I now have one less hero.

Anyone here on this forum want to be my new hero?

i dont really understand why smoking pot necessarily tarnishes phelps' reputation; if anything shouldn't it erase some of the stigma of marijuana?

Michael Phelps should never be photographed again.

That piece is top quality. Roor doesn't play.

It goes both ways. He could be the new poster-boy for High Times.
