Just saw on ESPN, South Carolina police are trying to build a case to arrest Swimmer Phelps for the smoking picture.

This is even dumber than the steroids stuff, do we even know if he was actually smoking, has he failed a drug test? Heck if you go a smoke shop they say that bongs are for smoking tobacco, not that thats what there for. I smoked for many years and don't have a problem with those that do. I would rather see someone smoking a joint then doing shots at a bar or friends house and driving home afterward.

You can look through millions of people's facebook photos, you will eventually see pics of people smoking, are we going to arrest everyone in the world where there are photos of them smoking?

Wow. Does this police department not have much to do if they are spending their time building a case against Phelps' weed smoking?
Making an example of someone famous isn't going to stop kids from smoking. If I had kids and they saw it I would say this "You can smoke weed after you've won 14 gold medals for your country"

I like the Conan O'Brien joke on this the other day.
The SC sheriff said they were going to try to charge Michael Phelps and arrest him, only if they can "build a case" against Phelps.
They are still looking for the 'smoking gun,' because all they have so far IS A PHOTO OF MICHAEL PHELPS SMOKING POT AND SEVERAL TAPED CONFESSIONS!
LOL...if they are going to arrest him for it, what evidence are they waiting for?
My runs created per 27 posts (RC/27p) was 12.4 last year. I should've been MVP.

Yeah, this is more ridiculous than the steroids stuff. Way more ridiculous.

A photo of him smoking a bong is NOT evidence of him smoking marijuana. While, yes, we all know that's what he was doing, the picture is easily dismissed in court because bongs can be used for non-marijuana activities.

No, but a confession of him smoking pot is.
It was just a joke from Conan anyways.

True, overlooked that.

This whole thing is way out of hand. I don't see why he gets all in trouble for it when loads of other people don't. He did not choose to be a hero, he just swam because he liked it. His talents should not make him have fewer rights then normal people.

People in this country love to see celebrities fall....Paris Hilton, Kobe, etc etc. RSR said it exactly right, but the reverse is the same as well. They shouldn't also get special treatment because of who they are as well.

Uhh, while I agree that celebrities might get targeted sometimes, you can't even begin to compare Kobe's sexual assault case to this Phelps nonsense. Kobe was not targeted by the media and public perception because he was a celebrity; he was bashed because he was charged with a serious crime in sexual assault. BIG difference.

I wasn't trying to compare Kobe's assault case to the ridiculous nature of Phelp's. I was just using him as an exmample as a celebrity with a bad PR moment.
