my two cents, **** Kellogg's. It shows a over sensitivity to an event that
should blow over quickly(of course, not helped by media hype and the
swimming oversight body suspending him for 3 months. Were I Phelps(who, I
suspect might have made an adequate amount of money without the further
inflow from Kelloggs), I would immediately announce out of the next
Olympics, so the national Olympic Committee and Swimming Organization can
find another cash cow to milk.
He has said he is rethinking competing in 2012 and US Olympic
officials who need his medals for propaganda, tv folks who need his
medals to sell air time and UK officals who need him for Games revenue
generation must have gotten really nervous.

Moreover, the really disturbing part of the story is that he was
photographed at a private college party in the first place. We are seeing,
before our eyes(and, thanks to the type of narrow-minded opinions express by
a couple of folks here),a complete erosion of personal privacy.
And from the paper which published the photo:
"Phelps, who earned £4million last year in endorsements, has resumed
training for the 2012 games.
But there were fears about his commitment when, weeks after the bong
incident, he began dating former stripper Caroline Pal."

Oh No!!!! Where will it end. A stripper!!!
A sure sign of a lack of commitment.
A couple of hits off a bong (or bowls of Corn Flakes?) and the guy has
spiraled totally out of control.

Sure.

Having a stripper on his arm will probably do a lot more for the sales
of Corn Flakes (and bongs) than anything the advertisers could dream
up.

He has plucked the advertising birds for enough cash already to last
the rest of his life. I'd like to see him seek a High Times
endorsement.
