*Update: Law enforcement judgment - The sheriff of Richland County in South Carolina says he wants to charge Phelps with a crime. Phelps' sponsors, on the other hand, could care less about the boy with the bong.

Oh no! He smokes dope! Evil, evil man! Lighten up!
Who cares? His sponsors do. Kid blew it.
Oh for crying out loud!! He's a boy! A kid! I agree, lighten up. Criminy! All he did was smoke some weed. Holy crap!
I hope they put a FREE Michael Phelps PIPE in every box of Corn Flakes.
He's probably set for life already. Stop apologizing you wuz!
