Michael Phelps

Olympic champion Michael Phelps has apologised for his "regrettable" behavior after photos surfaced of the star athlete using a glass pipe associated with Marijuana use. The British newspaper the News of the World published a shot of the gold medal-winning athlete holding a pipe, more commonly referred to as a bong , to his lips at a party in South Carolina, Columbia that took place last November.The publication alleges that Phelps was at a house visiting his secret girlfriend, student Jordan Matthews, and left party people in shock with his behavior.In a statement released today, Phelps says, "I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. "I’m 23 years old, and despite the successes I have had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner that people have come to expect from me. "For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public, it will not happen again." Phelps’ representative Clifford Bloxham reportedly tried to broker a deal with the tabloid to stop the photographs from being published, even offering the star’s services as a columnist for the newspaper for the next few years. Bloxham allegedly told the publication, "It’s seeing if something potentially very negative for Michael could turn into something very positive for the News of the World."
