OK seriously, the US Swimming Team needs to chill out and get a grip. I mean 3 mos. suspension b/c of smoking weed!?! Yea it's illegal, but at least its not a "performance enhancing" drug! If anything, its a "performance decreasing" drug.

Phelps is old enough to make his own personal decisions, although in this case I do think he demonstrated bad judgement. As an athlete (esp. a 8 gold medal winning athlete), you certainly don't want to engage in activities that might jeopardize and decrease your athletic performance.

But at any rate, he issued a sincere apology and the US Swimming team should have accepted it in my opinion and left it at that.
