Ummm….Did we forget that this American Hero has a DUI….
According to the NEWSDAY article above, no…but it was DWI, which is more serious:
"Phelps was arrested for DWI back in Maryland back in 2004. He was only 19 at the time.
News of the World said that Phelps' people attempted to stop them from running the picture. His reps have not commented."

I don't get the media. Is he not allowed to enjoy having a drink with friends? ???

The said
I don't see what the problem is (yeah, i know it's illegal), unless he was stoned when he was swimming in Bejing. In that case they should give him an additional medal. There are plenty of good decent people out there who enjoy a good toke, i don't think that makes them stupid or a bad person.
It doesn't make him a bad person, but he is a dope for possibly throwing away his career. Like it or not things like result in sponsorships being pulled and lots of money being lost. Again, I am not saying he is a bad person. He just made a very bad decision that very well might have a serious impact on his financial and professional future. It is like NFL players who continuously make bad decisions and put themselves in bad situations. When you are in the public spotlight you are held to a higher standard (fair or unfair) and it shouldn't be so difficult to avoid making a fool of yourself.

As far as role model….I really doubt there are kids out there thinking 'you know I was never going to smoke weed until Michael Phelps did. Now I am going to be a stoner instead of an Olympic swimmer'.
Or maybe I am biased because I lived in Amsterdam for too long.
