Michael Phelps Suspended by USA Swimming

Michael Phelps' judgement day may have just begun. Today the Olympian said he may not compete in Beijing, now USA Swimming has given him a punishment - no competitions for three months and no compensation from the organization.USA Swimming said, "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."

Michael won't fight the punishment.

In USA Swimming's defense, Michael has to receive some form of punishment for his actions or too many people would be upset and pointing fingers at USA Swimming, his sponsors and etc.

    it's ridiculous that Michael Phelps is getting so much flak from this supposed marijuana scandal... Since when have we taken the reporting of trashy tabloids so seriously?

    He did something right & he got paid for it. He did something wrong & he paid for it.
    Just think about the many millions of people who never get paid for their efforts or worse did nothing wrong & got punished anyway.

  4. There is nothing wrong with smoking pot. It's not a performance enhancing drug. People need to grow up and stop supporting the War on Some Drugs.
