The sensationalist paper, says this picture could mean that Phelps' career is over.

Those dreams seemed the last thing on his mind when he puffed from the bong during two days of partying with students last November, a quiet time in the swimming calendar when athletes would not expect to get tested for drugs.

One party-goer who witnessed the star’s behaviour told the 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.”

I had not heard of that with him before.

He should know better.

Yes, he is human and he has not taken any performance enhancing drugs nor did he have bionic implants, so give him a break.

Who's to say that's him?  If it is... nice friends he has at USC, wonder how much a soul would be worth there?

I know - I'm not even sure it is him either; it could be someone who just looks kind of like him.

Plus it is in the News of the World, so we shall have to see.

I agree with Blue Crush. Plausible deniability abounds with that photo. It could be ME! And if it IS him, well heck, maybe he's done competing and is ready to star in Pineapple Express 2.
