Phelps Apologizes For Smoking Pot

In a statement released by his marketing agency, Phelps said, “I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment.”

He continued, “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.”

The US Olympic Committee also issued a statement, saying, “We are disappointed in the behavior recently exhibited by Michael Phelps.
 Michael is a role model, and he is well aware of the responsibilities and accountability that come with setting a positive example for others, particularly young people.”

“In this instance, regrettably, he failed to fulfill those responsibilities. 
Michael has acknowledged that he made a mistake and apologized for his actions. 
We are confident that, going forward, Michael will consistently set the type of example we all expect from a great Olympic champion.”
