Jan. 1 update to below story:
Michael Phelps has today released a statement admitting to smoking from a bong and verifying that the photo in the British tabloid, News of the World is authentic. He is quoted as saying, "I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment," Phelps said in the statement released by one of his agents. "I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again." Though Phelps did not directly say that he was smoking pot, one does not "usually" smoke any other product from a bong... Plus, why would he feel it was so "regrettable" if what he smoked was not an illicit substance?
