In a written statement by Phelps:
“I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I’m 23 years old and despite the successes I’ve had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.”

This is Phelps second out-of-pool incident after the DUI arrest and conviction in 2004. So great swimmer, but perhaps not so bright. Doing bong hits is one thing, letting yourself get photographed doing bong hits is just plain stupid.
