So hey media, way to go lambasting a guy for doing something 5 years ago that may have had little to no impact with what he did in China last year.

Either you're reading impaired or didn't read the article...

It was on November 6, weeks after his Beijing triumph, that 23-year-old Phelps surprised students at the University Of South Carolina in Columbia by showing up unannounced at a house party.

He was visiting Jordan Matthews, a girl he was secretly seeing who was a student there.

Our source revealed: “Michael came to visit Jordan but ended up just getting wasted every night.

“He arrived with a group of girls hanging all over him. Jaws hit the floor when he walked in. You don’t get many celebrities in Columbia, so when Phelps comes to your party it’s a very big deal.

Obnoxious

“He didn’t know many people so you’d think he’d be a little shy. But he was loud, obnoxious and slamming beers from the get-go.

“Every girl wanted a piece of him and every guy wanted to be his best buddy. He couldn’t get enough of all the attention.”

As he basked in his hero status, Phelps knocked back beers and shots of spirits. And when a student offered him the glass bong engraved with red writing, he did not hesitate, says our source.

The 6ft 4ins athlete, in a white T-shirt and navy cap worn back to front, clasped the device in his huge hands and inhaled deeply.

Our source said: “You could tell Michael had smoked before. He grabbed the bong and a lighter and knew exactly what to do.

“He looked just as natural with a bong in his hands as he does swimming in the pool. He was the gold medal winner of bong hits. Michael ended up getting a little paranoid, though, because before too long he looked like he was nervous and ran out of the place.”

This is POST Olympics, not something he did when he was a child.

Nice try...

At least he owned up to it.

Who the **** cares?

Seriously?

He's 23...he's virtually retired. WTF cares?

People who need fillers in news stories; they care.

MO, didn't you realize that after a year on this board, some posters are PERFECT in every way and need to point out EVERYONE's bad decisions....unless their name is *cough cough jay cutler***

I'll just say that I smoked a few joints when I was 23. Much less 23, with $20 mil in the bank, or whatever it is he has...and virtually retired. God forbid the man lights one up.

I'm not going to turn this into what I believe about Marijuana, but I'll just say, again, who cares?

If you have something you'd like to get off your chest, the floor is yours.

I'm just glad people aren't following any of us around with a camera, god knows what they would catch some of us doing.....(I'm looking at you Clay!)

Don't trash Mtn for his opinion, disagree with it, but he's entitled to it whether we agree or not.

When I was 23 I was doing stupid shit on almost a daily basis. I can only imagine what a day in the life of Michael Phelps is like. None of us have ever walked in his shoes.

I will say this, I have been to Columbia, South Carolina many times, and I must say the campus scenery is strong, really strong. Maybe the strongest in the SEC next to Athens, Georgia.

I'm sure his squeeze was a winner.

I bet when he starts losing his multi-million dollar endorsements and possibly losing out on the 2012 Olympics, that he will see what the big deal is.

He won't lose that many endorsements. Kobe Bryant lost all of his for accused rape. Phelps got caught smoking pot.

Jay walking isn't legal and it's not a big deal. Smoking pot isn't a big deal.

He isn't going to miss out on the 2012 olympics.

But if he did, it wouldn't matter. He's the greatest Olympic athlete of all time. The poor smucks who would win there would always be in his shadow, it wouldn't mean that much because Phelps, the GOAT wouldn't have been there.

In a day or two, there will be some other controversy and his pot smoking will be no big deal.

the media rose him to a pedastil... He's just like half the americans in this country...


You gotta figure he decided the beer wasnt the way to go anymore....

Shout out to Michael. He should not be ashamed for being a more responsible party goer...

I havent read this thrwad, but anyone who rips the guy for using pot is wrong... now letting ics be taken is pretty brainless.... but by that time he was stoney balogna and prolly didnt give a shit......

Michael.... this next tube is for you buddy... u are great american... u are no less an american in my book. Keep smokin... party safe.... and win us more gold....
