I say yes, they are dragging this kid through the mud over an event that has nothing to do with his swimming ability! America get a grip.
 
If it was Britney Spears smoking a bong you would be asking for her head..Phelps is getting off easy.
 
He is young and the young do some foolish things. I know I did. I am just surprised that someone so fit and healthy would mess with pot. I don't think weed is that big a deal but the sponsors don't agree with me. They have the right to release him. I do think it is harsh but life is like that sometimes.
 
No, he isn't being punished too harshly. There are consequences to pay when one is caught red-handed.

Young people of today believe in moral relativity.....if it feels good, do it. There is no respect for rules or the law these days. There also doesn't seem to be any kind of conscience in wrong doing. Phelps only regrets he was caught, not that he was actually smoking contraband.

I believe smoking marijuana does, in fact, effect one's athletic ability.....not to mention it causes faulty "thinking".
