Ok let's get one thing straight... Phelps is the man no matter what he does. This guy has won more gold metals than any one olympic athlete in HISTORY. No one else can say that. The issue with him right now is that he got caught in a photo doing some drugs and may get charged with possession of narcotics. He is a public figure, athlete, and role model, and has a responsibility to make himself presentable because of that. But I don't think Phelps should be punished for this; everyone makes mistakes. By punished, I mean that his sponsors shouldn't be taken away from one mistake. Of all people, I think Phelps has earned a little freedom and fun. I'm not saying that it was a good idea on his part; in fact I am completely against doing drugs or having anything to do with them, but Phelps' name shouldn't be broken because of this. Give the guy a break!!!
