Michael Phelps Apologizes For Smoking Pot 

Michael had absolutely nothing to be ashamed of or apologize for. Never mind the fact that smoking marijuana from time to time wouldn't even be harmful to such a strong athlete, he doesn't need to be criticized for "setting a bad example". It's not like he was out in the middle of a street, toking it up and telling all the kids to join in-- He obviously wasn't even aware that the picture of him smoking was even being taken. It's his own private business.
