Michael Phelps has done the country and his fans injustice and he is getting a pass on it. Phelps has "Peed in the Pool" so to speak with his juvenile antics at The University of South Carolina. Marion Jones was stripped of her gold medals because of drugs so why shouldn't Phelps. Drugs are drugs no matter what drugs that you use. What is good goose is good for the gander isn't it. NFL Players can be suspended for a year for using a over the counter drug. So how many counter can you get weed from. What is he doing at a party in South Carolina anyway? We cut Joakim Noah head off for doing this last summer when he was hanging out in Gator nations with a joint. We all said this is the reason that he isn't living up to his hype. Chris Duhon was made into the "bad guy" Chicago when he was late for the Chicago Bulls shoot around. So why do we let our golden boy off with three months suspension with no pay. He makes more with Rosetta Stone and other endorsements. Phelps was the story in the Olympics, not the Redeem Team, not the High speed runner from the land of Marijuana, it was the medals that Phelps earned for his country. How many people could tell you every member on the Redeem Team? I bet you a person who doesn't watch sports knows how many Gold medals Phelps won last summer. He had the Two Biggest stars in the NBA(Kobe Bryant and Lebron James) attending his meets. Mainstream media knew nothing about Lil Wayne, until Phelps told the world that he listens to the best rapper alive. Now Lil Wayne has a rock album coming out, he is the voice of the new Gatorade commercials, he was on ESPN's First and Ten battling Skip Bayless thanks to Phelps and his endorsements. So tell me how important Phelps mistakes are to this countries fabrics. He should be stripped like Marion Jones it's only fair.
