America's Olympic Swim Champ Michael Phelps Stays True To His Word

**Shol'va** · 07-30-2012, 11:16 AM

Olympic Gold Medalist would rather get stoned than win this time around In England.
Looks like we lost another Athlete to drugs. Man what a waste of talent....

Thank f*ck we at least have Ryan Lochte to represent the USA! Especially since Michael went to pot. And Ryan is a very respectful and humble guy.

Phelps loss, not mine.....

That whole thing about him getting stoned was back in 2009... I haven't heard any developments on it lately.

It showed in his lack of enthusiasm for this years olympics. Pretty sad. I wish I had his talent not to mention all that endorsment money that he was getting for promoting Wheaties and T-shirts, and shoes and and and. Oh well everyone reacts differently to fame and fortune.

Lochte is the one who lost the 100x4 last night

Well I guess it hasnt hurt Phelps to much since he just broke the record for the most Olympic medals by one person in 49 years.

Not saying it helped him in any way but someone who trains as hard he does or any of the Olympians deserve a break of their choice once in a while. Maybe it's his form of a cheat meal/day? lol

**RaginCajun** · 08-01-2012, 10:14 AM

he is the one of the greatest olympic champs. 19 medals, you mad!

**Rwy** · 08-01-2012, 12:23 PM

He is an amaznig athlete. Could he have gotten more out of his talent def but still cant knock the guy for what he has acheived.

**Shol'va** · 08-01-2012, 07:44 PM

Yeah I know I spoke way too soon on this one. Hey I'm not ashamed to admit I got it wrong and apparently I did. Maybe Michael saw my thread on him..lol But after watching an interview of him I got that opinion from watching it. He even said he hadn't trained for this olympics and acted uninterested in it. But now it seems he got his mojo back and is kicking some booty. So I stand (sit) corrected...mea culpa 30 lashes with a wet noodle for me. In the mean time it's good to see him back at it again. So whatever got him in his groove great job. I liked the guy and didn't hold his after hours activity against him unless it was interfereing with his training which is what it seemed like after seeing that interview. But it's all good.

Meh, pot does not affect your ability to train/perform. When I was in D1 soccer on the HS team my friend was a huge stoner who always smoked me on endurance runs, sure I was faster but no way was I going to keep up his pace. Plus he was also shredded like no other. In college I even knew people who smoked cigs like a chimney and could still play soccer/tennis at a very competitive level, the girl who played tennis actually won every year so yeah...

**Igifuno** · 08-02-2012, 11:47 AM

It's affects diff people in diff ways. I know people who can do it and go to the gym, play sports, hike, etc. and others who can't do anything but sit and watch tv. Has a lot to do with your personality I'm sure.

**DCI** · 08-02-2012, 02:29 PM

Who gives a shit, I don't bother with any rec drugs imo there a waste of money. But look at arnie, he was stoned a good bit and didn't ever seem to affect him.

**wh1spa** · 08-02-2012, 08:37 PM

Phelps has bagged himself another gold medal last night. 200-meter individual medley. He beat Ryan Lochte. Not by heaps i dont think though.

it his life so who gives a fvck and who can even comment on what he should or shouldnt do

**Renesis** · 08-02-2012, 08:59 PM

Especially when he is a certified badass swimmer.

you got it all wrong! Ryan was the shit talker. He said it was his time. Phelps just beat him a few minutes ago. Ryan lost the relay for the mens team. He will never even be close to what Phelps has accomplished. And micheal is cooler because he smokes weed and is the greatest Olympian of all time.

True man, I have no interest in drugs or any of that shit but who am I to tell other people what to do. Once it doesn't affect me, my money or my family I don't give a ****.

**Shol'va** · 08-03-2012, 06:06 PM

He has a chance tonight to get one more gold medal making it 22 medals total in his lifetime. That's it for me I'm hitting the bong and going to the gym. If it works for him it'll work for me..lol

**Times Roman** · 08-03-2012, 06:21 PM

he is freaking amazing!!

You know in hindsight I wonder if all that interview I saw of him saying he wasn't in shape nor prepared for the olympics was just a psych out for his competitors to drop their guard. Because he sure is ripping up the joint for someone who is out of shape. And if continued winning gold medals is considered out of shape count me in....

**Razor** · 08-03-2012, 07:37 PM

Sholv you pretty pissed with this whole phelps thing huh?

I started off that way only because I liked him and when I saw his interview and how he talked and acted about the olympics this time around and when he didn't come in first right out the gate, I was bummed, thinking he thought more about catching a buzz than winning. Little did I know he could multitask with doing both. lol But it's all good now. Besides I wanted him to win over Lochte and now he has a wide lead and will end up an untouchable champ of possibly 22 medals and that ain't nothing to sneez at....
