To keep up his image and milk the sponsors for all they're worth.

Bank that shit to pay for herb when he retires.

Money isn't everything.

But it sure does help.

I agree, the sponsors know the risk of putting a 23yr old on their product which is why they put stipulations in the contracts about personal conduct. When someone pays you $100 million for your image, it's really not yours anymore, it's there's. They bought it, you sold it. I'd be Sister motherfucking Theresa for $100 million."

What? so you guys argue via email?

But I do agree with the bolded.

drinking isn't illegal.

So let's chastise him everytime he speeds, litters, and jaywalks too.

thanks for putting words in my mouth, but then again, that's what internet forums seem to be made for.

He came out and said he ate 10,000 Calories a day, now I know he works out hard every day. But I know people who train probably as hard and don't eat close to 10,000 Calories a day. That should have make it obvious he tokes.

Probably not.

So one can infer that he didn't want to apologize, but he did anyway because of pressure from external sources.

So he said one thing, while he believes another.

Pretty much the definition of a hypocrite.

Well he's now a "role model" and such. If he didn't apologize he'd get his ass sued off for causing some random person's kid to start pot or some shit. I'd lie to get out of that.

You don't know a single person who trains like a top tier olympian.

I have a friend who trains MMA and a typical days workout would be on par with anything any Olympian would do. He pushes himself until he physically pukes. go on Youtube and look up a Sean Sherk workout video for an idea. They call it Cave Man training. While he couldn't do the same workout Phelps does, on the same note Phelps couldn't hang in the Gym with him and his routine. I might even say what he does is far harder than most Olympians because he spars a lot which puts an even greater beating on his body. The only difference between him and a Phelps is they're training for the Olympics and he's training to try and get into UFC.

He's a hypocrite because HE LIKES SMOKING WEED, and rather than say that it was childish/irresponsible/bad, like he did, he should have said I LIKE TO SMOKE THE GANJ, you people can suck my 5 gold medal having ass, I owe you zero.

Then he could have my respect as well. I think the OPs friend is correct; HYPOCRITE.
The boy's payday isn't from swimming in the Olympics or winning medals. The payday comes from endorsements after the fact.

If he were to do as you suggest, he'd have the respect of many, many young people and probably many not-young people. But he's going to lose his endorsements and that kind of money doesn't come from swimming around in a pool.

Phelps should apologize for hanging around the type of losers who would sell him out to make some cash off that photo.

He doesn't owe you or anybody an apology about what he chooses to ingest. Too bad he doesn't have the guts to say so.
Who the fuck would give a press release after being photographed smoking pot (I'm talking about a major athlete or someone like that) saying that everyone should fuck off and mind their own business and that they'd keep smoking and not care? You'd have to be a fucking retard. Yeah, you may not believe that the laws are right, but still... what would that accomplish? All-around idiotic.

Yea Sean Sherk, isn't that the guy who was stripped of his title due to steroid use?
Wow, yup it sure was. Mabey the puking had something to do with popping pills and shoving needles in his ass. I would hope that he could even begin to work as hard as phelps considering all the roids he was on. Phelps smokes dope and works it, Sherk slams needles in his artifically sculpted ass. How does that compare?

Phelps > any MMA fighter, especially roided up tools who are dumb enough to get nailed and lose their titles. Its my opinion, deal with it.

So what you're saying is that this guy Sean Sherk must smoke dope? No wait, he just takes roids.
Or are you implying that dope smokers eat incredibly excessive amounts of food? Thousands of calories over what they actually need? That would probably mean that the majority of dope smokers are obese. So now you're saying all dope smokers are fat.
Now if you know the diet of a dope smoker, you must be close to quite a few of them, probably yourself included?

In one post you just insulted Phelps (who is a bigger icon than any MMA fighter can ever hope to be), all dope smokers, lays potato chips, Brian McNamee, Roger Clemens, Pizza Hut, and golds gym, all in one post. Congratulations!

So are you counting being on Mr. Sherk's facebook as being a friend? Or is it you hour long masturbation sessions of Mr Sherks crushing 3 hours in the gym after filling his Adonis-like buttocks with stanozolol, danazol, decabolic, boldabolic and painful-penisshrinkingHGHaboliczol?

A dear friend to someone like Sean Sherks would still have some needles stashed away with Mr. Sherks crusty blood in them, ala Brian McNamee. Something like that may definitely come in handy someday when congress decides to investigate steroid use in the new American pasttime of MMA. Make sure to hang on to those, as they will surely be honored with bright red asterisk in future history books.

So yea, rock out that cave man training, sharpen the bamboo syringes and go to town!

Read much? I said I know an MMA fight then I said go to Youtube and look up a Sean Sherk workout video for an idea. I never said or even implied Sean is my friend. My friend is not a known fighter. Phelps could not do the same workout my friend does, and visa versa. It's like comparing Apples to Oranges, but to say Phelps workout is more intense or harder to do is laughable at best. 5-6 hours every day 5-6 days a week in a gym until you puke is dedication to the highest level period. It doesn't matter if you swim, run, box, train MMA, whatever. Nobody with a brain is going to say otherwise. Sherk was busted for roids but he fought it and won. The lab that tested his piss positive also tested a few other fighters positive and it was discovered their equipment was faulty. Sherk did admit to using an suppliment that they deemed to be illegal. But he NEVER "slammed needles" IKf his conviction wasn't overturned the A.C. wouldn't have lifted his suspension as quick as they did (4 months I believe) If he had actually used Roids he would have remained suspended for 16-20 months.

OP's friend is mad because Michael Phelps single-handedly shattered the stereotype that one who smokes weed cannot be a productive, successful, talented human bean
