"Luxury Swiss watchmaker Omega termed Phelps' actions a private matter and "nonissue." Swim wear manufacturer Speedo called the 23-year-old American a "valued member of the Speedo team.""

Except that at this current point in time pot is illegal, right or wrong, and he is a public figure/role model. I don't think that a bong hit should blacklist the kid but he showed a pretty big lack of intelligence in doing it where he could be photographed. Also his apology statement was a joke.

He was totally stupid for doing it where he could be photographed. I think that any celebrity deserves the right to being a normal human being, but it's their fault when they jeopardize their privacy on their own.

Didn't Barack Obama admit to twisting a few spliefs? The kid swam, and won on camera. Period. He was amazing. (Though- it IS a rotten example to kids. Not many can smoke and excel. )

He kicked everyone's butt--I wonder how fast he can swim when he's NOT stoned? (all in good fun)

I heard Rickey Henderson had an assistant that would roll 2 joints for him before every game. They would be sitting in his car and Rickey would smoke them on the way to the ballpark. Never slowed him down :)

Aussie crickter Shane Warne takes a diuretic and is banned from professional sport for 12 months (i think), how is smoking the 'erb any different?

I can't get Chrome to update from behind a proxy. Anyone else seen that? Bah! I'll just have to wait to get home. Or maybe...I should go home early...

Chrome is ok but I will stick with Firefox. I much prefer all the applications written for it.
