Your nicca, Mike Phelps, is feeling the backlash from him smoking skunk publicly:

U.S. swimming officials announced Thursday they were barring Phelps from competing for three months and withdrawing financial support from him for a period of “reprimand,” CNN reports. “This is not a situation where any anti-doping rule was violated, but we decided to send a strong message to Michael because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming-member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero,” USA Swimming announced in a statement. “Michael has voluntarily accepted this reprimand and has committed to earn back our trust,” the statement continued. Meanwhile, Kellogg Co. announced that……the Olympian’s behavior is “not consistent with the image of Kellogg,” and that it would not renew his contract, which expires at the end of February. The swimmer appeared on Frosted Flakes and Corn Flakes cereal boxes after winning a record eight gold medals over the summer at the Beijing games. On Wednesday, Phelps told the Baltimore Sun that it “definitely wasn’t easy” explaining those pot pics to his mom, Debbie — especially after he’d already gotten in hot water with her when he was arrested in 2004 for DUI at age 19.

Gotta pay your dues when you are becoming a true thug, right Phelps?

    Now where is the public outcry like with dog ring incident. Three months that is not ish, how about charging him with the criminal act, last time I checked it was illegal to smoke marijuana. Do we only want to punish black athletes with jail time.

  • So Sad!!!

    This is silly.

    ***Phelps told the Baltimore Sun that it “definitely wasn’t easy” explaining those pot pics to his mom, Debbie — especially after he’d already gotten in hot water with her when he was arrested in 2004 for DUI at age 19…***

    They’re stating that he had a hard time explaining this ish to his mom, but got a DUI!!! So getting a dui and possibly killing someone on the road is cool for these officials, but smoking pot in his crib is a reason to take action. If he is going to be put down for his past actions, lets make it the ones that count!!! His parents already cashed them endorsement checks…he’s going to have to explain why they stop coming!!! Believe me his parents knew he was swimming, drinking/driving, pot smoking mess before they sent his ass to china!

  • THISISME

    NOW YÄLL SAY WHAT YOU WANT BUT IF HE WAS BLACK HE WOULD BE BANNED FOR LIFE, LOSE ALL ENDORSEMENTS AND BE STANDING IN THE UNEMPLOYMENT OFFICE ‘IN DA MONING”"!!!

    No, Quaker does. But it doesn’t taste the same after they made it whole grains. But when you eat it when you do – it probably doesn’t matter.

    @the_one

    Do we only want to punish black athletes with jail time.
    _______________________________________________

    Whoa! The crap the black athletes have done and gotten punished for is wayyyyyy worse than this.
    But at the same time, they get chance after chance to make things right and keep doing the same dumb s***. How many chances did Plaxico, Pacman Jones and herb loving Ricky Williams (and unfortunately, the list could go on and on) get before it became enough is enough?

  • MEAN GREEN MONEY MACHINE

    AND HE SHOULD BE! THEY GOT BONDS BY THE BALLS SO THEY SHOULD DO THE SAME TO HIM & ANY OTHERS THAT ‘DO THE UNHEARD OF’

    ITS LIFE. WELCOME ABOARD.

  • *Treasure*

    I’m sure Michael was probably caught on camera by one of his close buddies. It was probably a camera phone that this photo was taken with. Michael probably has an envious friend who took this picture and sold it to the highest bidder.

    When you are a public figure, you have to maintain a certain image. He should of never indulged at this party. If he wanted to smoke he should of did that in his house, in a bedroom, with no one in sight. Now he has to pay for his mistakes, and try to clean up his tarnished image.

  • GETONMYLEVEL

    HI HATERS :)

    NOTHING WRONG WITH CHIEFING!! BUT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WRONG WHEN U ALLOW PEOPLES TO TAKE YOUR PIC.

    DUMB ASS

  • pm

    America really is changing, remember when black athletes were the only ones that lost endorsements.

  • So Sad!!!

    @GETONMYLEVEL

    Agreed!!!

  • Candid Canuck

    what’s sad is that some asshole sold him out by taking this pic

  • Kigali (Going to spike Black females drinks with Birth Control Pills)

    Some haters probably.

    I still love oyu Mike except for that Asian stripper for a girlfriend.

  • Soul Touch

    Who ever took the pic needs a butt whoopin’. Nothing wrong with a little toke.

    Oh, look at Kellogs history…very interesting. Found at Wikipedia:

    Kellogg, an advocate of sexual abstinence, devoted large amounts of his educational and medical work to discouraging sexual activity, on the basis of dangers both real – as in sexually transmissible diseases – and purported. He set out his views on such matters in one of his larger books, published in various editions around the turn of the century under the title Plain Facts about Sexual Life and later Plain Facts for Old and Young.[5] Some of his work on diet was influenced by his belief that a plain and healthy diet, with only two meals a day, among other things, would reduce sexual feelings. Those experiencing temptation were to avoid stimulating food and drinks, and eat very little meat, if any. Kellogg also advocated hydrotherapy and stressed the importance of keeping the colon clean through yogurt enemas.[9][10]

    [edit] “Warfare with passion”
    He warned that many types of sexual activity, including many “excesses” that couples could be guilty of within marriage, were against nature, and therefore, extremely unhealthy. He drew on the warnings of William Acton and expressed support for the work of Anthony Comstock. He appears to have gone beyond his own advice, since though he and his wife were married for over forty years, they never had sexual intercourse and had separate bedrooms all their lives. It has been suggested he worked on Plain Facts on their honeymoon.[11]
    He was an especially zealous campaigner against masturbation; this was an orthodox view during his lifetime, especially the earlier part. Kellogg was able to draw upon many medical sources who made claims such as that “neither the plague, nor war, nor small-pox, nor similar diseases, have produced results so disastrous to humanity as the pernicious habit of onanism,” credited to one Dr. Adam Clarke. Kellogg strongly warned against the habit in his own words, claiming of masturbation-related deaths “such a victim literally dies by his own hand,” among other condemnations. He felt that masturbation destroyed not only physical and mental health, but the moral health of individuals as well. Kellogg also believed the practice of “solitary-vice” caused cancer of the womb, urinary diseases, nocturnal emissions, impotence, epilepsy, insanity, and mental and physical debility – “dimness of vision” was only briefly mentioned. Kellogg was the first to mention the psychological role in producing insanity.[citation needed]

    [edit] Drastic measures
    Kellogg worked on the rehabilitation of masturbators, often employing extreme measures, even mutilation, on both sexes. In his Plain Facts for Old and Young,[5] he wrote
    “ A remedy which is almost always successful in small boys is circumcision, especially when there is any degree of phimosis. The operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering an anesthetic, as the brief pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect upon the mind, especially if it be connected with the idea of punishment, as it may well be in some cases. The soreness which continues for several weeks interrupts the practice, and if it had not previously become too firmly fixed, it may be forgotten and not resumed. ”

    and
    “ In females, the author has found the application of pure carbolic acid [phenol] to the clitoris an excellent means of allaying the abnormal excitement. ”

    He also recommended, to prevent children from this “solitary vice”, bandaging or tying their hands, covering their genitals with patented cages, sewing the foreskin shut, and electrical shock.[5]

    Mike should have said that he didn’t inhale. The pipe looks like it’s empty with no smoke.

  • Sasha_Kayente

    I want to know who was the snitch!!?? Damn, some friends he had. Nope…that’s not it. Those are haters, pure and simple. I can’t believe someone sunk to such a low.

    Mike, don’t let them make a slave out of you. Just because they paid you a little money for some endorsements doesn’t mean they own you. For goodness sake, they act like they caught him shooting up heroin or something.

    I’m sorry but young people are going to be young people. Who hasn’t partaken of the medicinal smoke?

    Mike get your boys to jack up the a** who put you on blast. People be careful who you invite to your partieis and inner sanctums. What goes on behind doors should stay there!!

    Exactly! What swimming competitions are even going on. There probably isnt anything important for atleast another 3 months

  • CriticXtreme

    This is were those bleeding hearts come in and say, “it’s for the children” bullshit. Kellogg has been poisoning people for years with their crappy foods giving some people diabetes and other alignments. They have a nerve to drop him. When many of their food products are also stoner food!

  • Tanisha

    His homies probably set him up. All he had to do is take out his cell phone and click away. Whoever turned it in got paid big bucks too. Kellogs cornflakes, frosted flakes are the king of carbohydrates. Don’t let that nutritional value sticker fool you. That cereal is loaded with sugars.

    That $20 bag of weed cost him millions of dollars. You have no friends. Only associates. People only care about what they can get out of you. Don’t trust anyone. Fame brings out the worst in your family and friends. They have a sense of entitlement. If you make it big they think you owe them something. If you don’t cater to all of their financial needs some will turn on you like a snake, tell and sell secrets, lies and whatever they can to get paid, and to spite you. It could be your own brother, or sister.

    Michael Phelps is an American Hero. He stood tall and made America proud at the Beijing Olympics. This is how America treats its heroes, we forget all of the hard work Michael Phelps did to achieve his task, we forget the pride we felt with the each gold medal, we forget how Phelps helped America to be competitive against a Chinese when they planned on winning all of the gold’s, we forget all of those things and hang a man for smoking a glass pipe at a college party. It is time that we as a country stand up for the rights of the individual, it’s time we stand together with our neighbors and take collective control of our destinies. Write a congressman or a senator any of them; Imagine the weight of millions of emails calling for a change in policy. In this moment in America anything is possible just Google the email address of your representative and send him or her short email. It will take 10 minutes but then you have taken responsibility for change. A senator considers each email as representative of 2 thousand voters.

    First of all, who in their right mind would pass him the pipe? With the lung capacity he got, you’ll never get a second hit.

  • RE RE

    He was turned in for not passing the pipe.

  • WundaKidd

    Lmao @ Unkle Ruckus…you are sooo right though lol!!!
