It is not disgraceful for an athlete to smoke pot. Grass is not a "performance enhancing drug" such as steroids. If anything, the photo of Michael Phelps with a bong only made him more human and thus more likable in my book. I was however, a little disappointed by his hast to apologize for his behavior.
When will we stop punishing people for being human? Pot has been a part of civilization for as long as civilization itself.

Ok, good comment about Phelps. Now, here is something constructive to do about it. DPA (Drug Policy Alliance Network) has implemented a campaign to convince Kellog's to retract their negative statements about Phelps, and renew their sponsorship. Go here to participate:

If you are serious about this issue, you should also join DPA and participate in their other projects.
Peace
Happy v-day!
