Michael Phelps hardly emerged unscathed after a photo surfaced showing him smoking from a marijuana pipe: It cost him a major endorsement (Kellogg’s) and a three-month competition suspension. But the Olympian said he’s focused on swimming again now that he won’t face drug charges.
A South Carolina sheriff said Monday that there wasn’t enough physical evidence to charge the 14-time gold medalist.
“Holding a bong is not a crime”, he said. “They’re sold in stores. We’re kind of sending a double message,” Lott said. “You can buy rolling papers at any convenience store in the world, but we’re telling kids not to smoke dope.”

hopefully now everyone can put this in the past. Let Phelps swim, win golds, set records, and then smoke to unwind if that’s what he chooses to do…this is so far the story most blown out of proportion so far in 2009…
