Michael Phelps Gets Caught Smoking Weed Out of a Bong!!!

It was only a matter of time before the Olympics golden boy got caught up in a scandal of some sort.

The swimmer who won a record 8 gold medals in Beijing has been snapped smoking from a bong, according to News of the World.

Bongs, for the unintiated, are waterpipes most often used for the smoking of cannabis, the wacky tobacky, the stick icky, the ganja, or quite simply, weed.

Michael Phelps was caught smoking at a party back in November.

According to one party-goer who told News of the World, ” “He was out of control from the moment he got there.

“If he continues to party like that I’d be amazed if he ever won any more medals again.”

And apparently Phelps is a veteran at smoking through a bong. A source said:

“You could tell Michael had smoked before. He grabbed the bong and a lighter and knew exactly what to do.

“He looked just as natural with a bong in his hands as he does swimming in the pool. He was the gold medal winner of bong hits. Michael ended up getting a little paranoid, though, because before too long he looked like he was nervous and ran out of the place.”

Yeah. Weed will do that to some people.

But the important question is whether or not Phelps will be allowed to participate in the 2012 Olympics. There’s a four-year ban on drug taking which means he could be out of the London games which are less than 4 years away.
