So apparently winners do use drugs.

[Galletea]

What's the big deal? So he's taking drugs, am I supposed to care? I appreciate that as an athlete in the public eye he's supposed to set an example to the kiddies, but still, it's not that big a deal.

 

[YouGetWhatsGiven]

Maybe he does it to relax before racing.

Don't eff with Robert Downey Jr. or I'll have to go Rorschach on you and nobody will know where your remains will lie . His portrayal (Jr's) of Tony Stark is utterly spot on.

I'm not effing with him, I'm saying that it's ironic that he is playing a character who has drug issues himself. Ironic probably isn't the best word though...
Iron Man is still one of my favorite movies.

I knew you weren't . I just wanted to be silly.

Likewise I thought he did an amazing job in Tropic Thunder (The movie as a whole was iffy but his performance was hilarious).

Wait a minute, is that 4chan on the computer screen in the background? Now THAT is news.

 

[bushwhacker2k]

It's not uncommon for kids to do drugs once or twice, if they take it against them then they were never fans in the first place.

 

[NeoAC]

Man, Michael Phelps, Santonio Holmes(arrested for possession last year), Carmelo Anthony(year before that), maybe pot really is the key to winning championships!

And for the record, I prefer either Whoppers or getting one of those boxes of Nerds and going to town on them. Nerds are amazing when you're craving something sweet. Heck, them and some popcorn chicken, maybe a little Dr. Pepper and I'll be set for a Friday night.

 

[EXPLICITasian]

i wonder how people here would act if we found out he was smoking crack... I'd probably start doing crack

 

[wlaidler]

technically a bong can be used to smoke tobacco . . . I don't know anyone who has but still not enough proof in my eyes

 

[Evilbunny]

Me too, actually.

 

[ElephantGuts]

Why doesn't he just claim it's photoshopped? That's what I would do.

 

[InvisibleMilk]

For me it was always those Hershey Kisses with soft cherry filling in the middle.

Ohh nice. I just get a huge chocolate craving.

I mean, figuratively speaking ofcoarse...

Dude I dive into a box of those big chocolate chip cookies, THEN wash it down with as much rockstar as possible.

wow that sounds.....gooood. really good. And Health-endangering.

mmmm....But tasty....

 

[Bulletinmybrain]

Heh, Phelps looks even more stupid than when he did at the Olympic games. I mean, he's a great swimmer, but he's next to Federer as 'World's Biggest Sporting Asshat'.

Hes a seaking, if someone tryed to attacked the U.S you know what would happen?


Phelps would come flying out the water tipping their ship over, like a great white shark from hell.

 

[lizards]

of course in school me and my friend scored with all the chicks and while i stayed away from drugs MOSTLY (i liked vodka more than pot) he used loads of drugs and we got all the girls and we still are

about the micheal phelps thing i dont care stars are people to i care about as much about some random guy named fgjhsitojg as much as i care about him taking drugs most people have done it and its no different if you were to

 

[runtheplacered]

Two words: toaster strudels.

Toaster Strudels would be a phenomenal choice for munchies if they just gave you more cream.

sometimes I make my own cream for them.. it's pretty easy.

 

[Mrsoupcup]

So Marijuana might have helped him...what? Drown?

Damn, can't be bothered to swim anymore...I need a Mars bad.

Really? For me I always crave a twix.

Umm...I mean...never mind

Two words: toaster strudels.

MMMMM...Skittles....

 

[DrunkenKitty]

I have less respect for him now. Not because he took a bong hit, but because he pussed out and didn't own up to it. He had an opportunity to dismiss the false stigma that pot smokers never make anything of themselves. He blew it by expressing regret.

I love Obama's quote regarding marijuana:

Press: "Is it true that you used marijuana when you were younger?"
Obama: "Yes, I experiemented with pot while I was in college."
Press: "Did you inhale?"
Obama: "Of course, I inhaled. That was the point."

 

[mattttherman3]

Wow who gives a rats ass if he smoked a bloody plant, all that hard work for the olympics, I'd say he earned it. As long as you don't go out driving, get as high as you want.

 

[Turtleboy1017]

He took one shot. Every athlete in the world has probably taken at least one shot. (Okay maybe not ALL of them) He was just unlucky/stupid enough to have it cought on camera. And he did win those 8 medals... but Kitajima Kousuke totally kicked his ass in the breast stroke. Too bad he doesn't do that event

 

[Gamer137]

It's not sterioids. If anything, a bong hit would hurt his performance. If he was high during the games, he really is Aquaman. As for his rep, only soccer moms, the media, and politicians will give a rats ass.
