Champion he may be at swimming, but eight-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps proved like he was like everybody else when he got caught holding a marijuana bong which was published by a British tabloids months ago. It wouldn’t have been such a sensation if Phelps weren’t that big of a sports celebrity. Because of the incident, Phelps lost two advertising deals, one with AT&T, and another with cereal maker Kellogg Co.
But Phelps is back on track now, despite doubts he entertained about his future before. He admitted to reporters in a small press conference in the Olympic Village that he had been skipping practice and thinking about quitting. But he said he woke up one day and saw that he was making a mess of things, and decided to clean up his act. Phelps is now training for the 2012 Olympic games.
