Michael Phelp's day grew loulier by the hour on Thursday.
First he lost a major sponsor, than he got suspended. The Olympics great was suspended from competition for three month by USA Swimming, the latest fallout from a photo that showed him inhaling marijuana from a pipe. The sport's national governing body also cut off its financial support to Phelps for the same three month period, effective immediately. "This is not a situation where any anti-doping rule was violated, but we decided to send a strong message to Mitchael because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming member kids who looked up to him as a role model and hero," the Colorado-Springs-based federation said in statement.
"Michael has voluntary accepted this reprimand and has committed to earn back our trust".
Phelps won a record eight gold medals in Beijing and returned to America as one of the world's most acclaimed athletics.
