The American fixation on the demonization of marijuana is ridiculous.
It has nothing to do with that. It's illegal. And it's against IOC rules. It should be legal, but its not. So you have to play by the rules.
As government governs only by the consent of the governed, bad laws cannot be changed and injustice cannot be righted if the people consent to "playing by the rules" even as they know certain rules are wrong.

However, unlike Clemens, I don't think he should have to apologize. He's apologizing for acting like a normal 23 year old. He's apologizing for utilizing the perks that the shitload of work and his regimented lifestyle got him. I'd rather Phelps issue a statement of not-sorry.

wow. pot is not a performance enhancing drug, they should let it go. hell pot will make you underperform.
AUSANNE, Switzerland -- The International Olympic Committee expressed confidence Monday that Michael Phelps will learn from his "inappropriate behavior" and continue to serve as a role model after a British newspaper published a photo of him inhaling from a marijuana pipe.
Phelps, who won a record eight gold medals at last year's Beijing Olympics, apologized and acknowledged "regrettable behavior" after the picture was published Sunday by the tabloid News of the World.
"Michael Phelps is a great Olympic champion," the IOC said in a statement e-mailed to The Associated Press on Monday. "He apologized for his inappropriate behavior. We have no reason to doubt his sincerity and his commitment to continue to act as a role model."
During the Beijing Olympics, IOC president Jacques Rogge called Phelps "the icon of the games."
Marijuana is viewed differently from performance-enhancing drugs under World Anti-Doping Agency rules. An athlete is subject to WADA sanctions only for a positive test that occurs during competition periods.
The News of the World said the picture was taken during a November house party while Phelps was visiting the University of South Carolina.
The party occurred nearly three months after the Olympics while Phelps was taking a long break from training, and his actions should have no impact on the medals he won in. Beijing.
He has never tested positive for banned substances and the case is unlikely to fall under any doping rules.
We have no reason to doubt his sincerity and his commitment to continue to act as a role model

uh, no higher than a cheap bong... just ROOR's, which he is hitting out of, are supposedly designed to give the easiest and smoothest hit possible... allowing you to take more in and hold it longer without coughing it out... which will get u higher.

Visa -- "Because while Dookie does sell the finest hydroponic bud in the state, he does not take American Express."
Omega watches -- "Sometimes I don't know where I am or even who I am. But I always know what time it is. Thanks, Omega."
PowerBar -- "I'm Michael Phelps. And I don't let the munchies get in the way of doing crunches. I reach for a PowerBar."
