Michael Phelps Loves to Toke
First, doesn't surprise me if he does like to toke. He did go to U of M, ya know (or at least he was in A2 long enough to realize that Pot is the official flower of A2).
Can't really tell if it's him in the picture but there goes his medals if true!

Ok, first: who cares? Second: he's not losing his medals. Third: the British don't even pay attention to British tabloids, especially not the ones run by Rupert Murdoch.
January 31st, 2009 at 6:46 PM ^
Dude, that's like the furthest thing from the truth ever. They hand out 3 free tabloids in London every day and the most popular is put out by News International. Aside from that, most people read at least the tabloid headlines. It's broadsheets that nobody pays any attention to.
January 31st, 2009 at 7:11 PM ^
Not to toot my own horn too much, but I used to live in London (greatest city in the world, IMO). Yes, the tabloids have a viable presence there, but what I meant was the content of the article, in particular where they wildly speculate that he would lose his medals-- no one should take that seriously.
January 31st, 2009 at 7:13 PM ^
Not to toot my own horn, either but I live in London currently. I see your point and it's indeed true... nobody takes the (non-sports) content seriously.
January 31st, 2009 at 7:14 PM ^
Good on ya, mate. Cheers
January 31st, 2009 at 7:16 PM ^
I was about to edit to add:
As to greatest city... I find that there's almost nothing good at Tesco and weekends are horrible in my area because I'm right by Emirates Stadium... other than that, right on.

That would suck do you ever go to see the Arsenal games though soccer games in Europe are a great experience if you dont mind the drunken people and the barbeed wire defense systems everywhere.
January 31st, 2009 at 7:36 PM ^
Not Arsenal, but I have been to two QPR matches as I randomly picked them as my favorite team years ago.
January 31st, 2009 at 6:40 PM ^
if so, good choice on the Roor. and also, maybe i'm in the minority but i'm more surprised when people don't enjoy it. oh, and.. relax.
January 31st, 2009 at 6:44 PM ^
Uhhh, if that's not him, I'm smelling a nice little law suit. Hopefully one that eats up Murdoch's fortune and forces him to shut down everything in an effort to pay Phelps.

Endorsement deal with NORML?
January 31st, 2009 at 6:51 PM ^
That guy is too heavy to be Phelps.
January 31st, 2009 at 6:58 PM ^
how would this cause him to lose his medals?
January 31st, 2009 at 7:04 PM ^
It wouldn't cause him to lose his medals. What it would do, however, is cost him his $100MM endorsement deal with Visa. Now that would be killer.
January 31st, 2009 at 7:12 PM ^
That doesnt even look like him.
January 31st, 2009 at 7:14 PM ^
The guy in the picture doesn't look anything like Phelps.
January 31st, 2009 at 7:22 PM ^
Always 4:20 somewhere, brother.
January 31st, 2009 at 7:51 PM ^
yeah, this actually does look like him. and it most likely is him. fwiw the few times i saw him out he was blacked out. and the best part about it, is that nothing will happen and nothing should happen.
but, better question. why the hell does the British media give a shit about our olympic athletes? i can't name even one of theirs.
January 31st, 2009 at 7:51 PM ^
SHouldnt' he get another medal for doing all that and smoking weed? That is amazing!
January 31st, 2009 at 8:52 PM ^
WELL I GUESS THIS EXPLAINS THE 12,000 CALORIE A DAY DIET AMIRITE?!?!?!?
February 1st, 2009 at 10:29 AM ^
That is all.
January 31st, 2009 at 9:43 PM ^
Doesn't look like him to me. Even if it is, eh, who cares?
Where is it 4:20 now?
January 31st, 2009 at 9:50 PM ^
In 30 minutes in West-Central Europe.
February 1st, 2009 at 11:55 AM ^
So when you said "it's always 4:20 somewhere", you lied. Asshole.
February 1st, 2009 at 1:52 PM ^
It was a more theoretical statement. It's always 4:20 somewhere... in your mind, yo.
February 1st, 2009 at 11:30 AM ^
That's Nick Sheridan
Look again

Whoever took this picture and released it to the media is a douchebag.
Marijuana is illegal. Therefore, nobody should smoke it.
But seriously, why would someone at a party take that picture and then release/sell it to the media other than pure, unadulterated greed? If I were Michael Phelps, I'd find the person, drag him to the bottom of the ocean, and then see which one of us could make it to the surface before drowning.
