If you’re reading this, chance are good you’re high right now. But it may come as some surprise that 14-time US Olympic gold medalist swimmer, Michael Phelps – arguably the greatest Olympian of all-time – wait for it….smokes weed, too!!! Gasp!

Proof comes after this picture (above) got into the hands of British tabloid News of the World, who busily condemns Phelps’ “drug use” as a defamation of what it means to be a true athlete. The picture was taken at a party at the University of South Carolina on November 6, ‘08 while Phelps was there visiting his “secret” girlfriend, Jordan Matthews.

Says News of the World:

Our source revealed: “Michael came to visit Jordan but ended up just getting wasted every night.

“He arrived with a group of girls hanging all over him. Jaws hit the floor when he walked in. You don’t get many celebrities in Columbia, so when Phelps comes to your party it’s a very big deal.

“He didn’t know many people so you’d think he’d be a little shy. But he was loud, obnoxious and slamming beers from the get-go.

“Every girl wanted a piece of him and every guy wanted to be his best buddy. He couldn’t get enough of all the attention.”

Wait, Michael Phelps is a douchey party animal and college chicks wanna do him? No. WAY! That’s the g*ddamn craziest thing I’ve ever heard. Ever… But seriously, Phelps, WTF**K, dude? A lot of people still think smoking weed is as bad as chopping-off someone’s hand – or worse. So when you do it, DON’T LET PEOPLE TAKE YOUR F**KING PICTURE!
