Oh, Michael! Now you are not going to be on the Wheaties boxes!

Unless we begin to serve the Breakfast of Champions in a BONG!

Apology is good. But it would have been better if you immediately came out and admitted it. Now go fire your publicist. He tried to cover it up for you. Yeah, right. Like any news outfit was going to sit on the big fat juicy story of "Michael Phelps caught smoking weed!", or people were just going to ignore this. This is the payout that every tabloid has been waiting for.

This is a dumb move because you did it 3 months AFTER your stunning Olympic performance. You didn't realize that you are now famous? You didn't think anybody was going to follow you, watch your every move, and catch your every action on camera? Where have you been living? Under a rock? Haven't you ever heard of Lindsay Lohan, Britany Spears or Paris Hilton?

And another thing: NO CAMERA ALLOWED in the BONG ROOM!

Since it happened at a student party, there are two scenarios: someone pretended to be your pal and sneaked in the party. Or, one of your buddies sold you out... That would be the most troubling part of this whole story, for me.

It seems that you were trying to cover yourself up by smoking the pipe while standing sideways. How about wearing a disguise next time? What kind of role model are you for all the dopeheads on college campuses?
