Fixed.

It'd be cool if he turns this into a "If I can smoke pot and be this good at sports, how bad can it truly be?" campaign. People make smoking pot in to way too much more then it is.

I agree, in the past (mostly), some people blew pot smoking way out of proportion (e.g. 20 year prison sentences, etc).  But this event doesn't really say anything about pot (successful people have also been caught doing heroin, cocaine, meth, etc.).  And I doubt he wants to turn into some poster boy for marijuana smoking.

Also, Ross Rebliati already went through something like this... except in his situation, his gold medal was stripped, and then there was this big debate, and it was given back. So really, his situation should have gotten a LOT more attention than the Phelps one.

People are just irrationally obsessed with Phelps.  In any case, I think this will blow over pretty quickly.

But this is not true for everyone. I think marijuana has it's uses, but if Phelps smoked pot everyday I doubt he'd be an Olympic Gold medalist. Not because of physiological factors, but just because the contentedness it provides drives down motivation.

Uhh... yeah, in his case, because of physiological factors, in addition to motivation.  When you're winning races by 1/100th of a second, smoking daily (pot or cigarettes) would destroy your career.

What I'm saying is, at his level of fitness, smoking isn't going to have a negative effect on his body (or at least not a noticeable one.) That is if he kept with his routine. But if he was, for instance, smoking daily he probably won't keep with his fitness routine. It's just another example of something that is negative when overused, but acceptable in moderation.

Hmm, it seems that your philosophy is flawed.

I know you can commit genocide, but how do you use it?  I guess for political capital (sieg heil bitch!)
