Winner of 8 Olympic gold medals for swimming, US athlete Michael Phelps was snapped smoking a bong by UK’s News of the World. Phelps was reportedly visitng Jordan Matthew, a  college student he’s been secretly dating at the University Of South Carolina in Columbia,  last November.

Press agents reportedly tried to pay off the UK rag to not show the picture. Guess it didn’t work.

Michael Phelps could possibly be jeopardizing his chances to compete in the 2012 Olympics as there is a 4-year ban on drug use for athletes.
