we decided to send a strong message to Michael because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero

Wait who's disappointed??? Seems everyone just found out you can smoke pot and be one of the most successful athletes ever.

Wait who's disappointed???
Ahh, the media is and I'm sure quite a few parents that believe sport figures are role models. I think you have to be asked to be one of those and have the right to say no, just like to drugs :mrgreen: Oh yea, we'll see how the sponsors hold up.

I for one am not disappointed, and i think he should just say fu** you!
maybe he can get a new sponsor, lie the one that Canadian snow boarder picked up a few years ago after testing positive for MJ after winning a gold medal....

Kellogg seems to be the only one that seems to care. Not that loosing that contract is not a huge financial loss to him but I doubt that he will be hurting. All of his other sponsors are standing by him. Also being banned for the next three months of competition is no big deal at all. All that does is give him time to insure his blood and piss test will come out clean. It does absolutely nothing to his swimming career or standing.

Apparently the sheriff of the county he was in is investigating so as to try to try to arrest and prosecute him. What a f'n tool. There is someone trying to get himself in the news. IMO.

I hope the ass bag that sold this picture is happy with himself and it was all worth it too him. I'd like to meet him and kick him right in the nads.http://www.clipartof.com/images/emoticons/xsmall2/774_smiley_getting_kicked_in_the_balls.gif

This should be such a non issue. Stupid marijuana prohibition. His drunk driving citation should be a much bigger issue but since alcohol is legal it barely gets mentioned. This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

If I was still an active toker I'd go out and take a hit and say...This buds for you Michael! http://www.clipartof.com/images/emoticons/xsmall2/211_cool_man_wearing_a_hat_and_smoking_cigar_anima tion.gif
