Like many successful athletes who gain the attention of the world and failed to surpass the temptation of his popularity, 8 time gold medalist Michael Phelps is caught on a scandal that will end his career and ambition on the upcoming 2012 London Olympics.
Michael Phelps has career-ending photo that shows him using cannabis bong pipe that was taken at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, where Phelps was secretly seeing a female girlfriend. (News Of The World got this exclusive photo)
According to News Of The World, Phelps's popularity got him all the actions (parties, women and many more..)
One of NOTW source says, “He arrived with a group of girls hanging all over him. Jaws hit the floor when he walked in. You don’t get many celebrities in Columbia, so when Phelps comes to your party it’s a very big deal.NOTW reveals that one of Phelps' rep. is offering money and incentives to trash out and not to publish this story. They want also to destroy Phelps’ bong picture.
“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.”
A possible four-year ban will be slap to Phelps that will cut his future participation in the 2012 Olympics. Another big blow is that a professional athlete who earn millions by his endorsement will affected with this scandal, it will be the question of credibility.
