First of all Michael Phelps,  you are a world class athlete.  Secondly, you are a world class bonehead.  If you are going to be taking a “bong hit” or whatever you want to call it.  Do it somewhere private.  How dumb do you have to be to do this at some party where every person in the world is taking photo’s of you on their cell phone.  You are a start – pictures will leak.  BONEHEAD.

Here is Michael Phelps quote after the incident,

“I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment,” Phelps said in the statement released by one of his agents on Sunday. “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.”

Phelps had several major sponsors as well that have now started backing off sponsorship.  What a huge mistake for the boneheaded swimmer.  Speedo, Subway and others are all considering their next step.  Kellog has already yanked their sponsorhips of Michael Phelps for his drug and bong related incident.  Ooops.
