Michael Phelps swimming results, his girlfriend and the bong

Yes, the many times Olympic gold-medalist Michael Phelps has not produced the top results in the pool lately. He even admitted to being bit out of shape himself after not making the final in 100 meters butterfly at the Fina World Cup in Stockholm. This was not so much the shock as he has not been known to be a sprinter but did come after he did not win the 200 meters individual medley final either just before that, and in fact was nowhere near the top in 100 meters freestyle nor 100 meters backstroke, a race from which he in fact got disqualified, in days preceding the first race noted.

Of course the controversy ranging on is on account of those bodysuits that he has not been wearing, though his opponents have, which will be outlawed coming January.

But on another hand, whatever the fact for him not being the winner at the moment he has been for years, it does not stop all these puritans to criticize this remarkable athlete, and have them bring up that bong once again. And not having more to feed their miserable boring lives, they’d bring up – ah, yes, that cocktail waitress from Las Vegas he has dated.

Let’s put it this way: any athlete that can spend more time in the pool training for years, all those countless hours that if added up would total more than anyone of his critics actually spends sleeping and picking his or her nose, can do whatever he wants after having piled up 14 gold medals at the Olympic Games!

In my book, given that kind of incredible determination, dedication and perseverance Michael Phelps has shown for years, and to achieve what he has achieved, he can have a smoke (whatever he wants to smoke) if he feels like it, he will always be a role model to my kids for what he has achieved! If not to your kids, then shut up and take them to Mac Donald’s, so they get more fat and keep looking for that role model to introduce them to!
