SUSPENDED...

Michael Phelps that is.. He has been suspended from competition for three months by USA Swimming, the latest fallout from a photo that showed the Olympic great inhaling from a “bong,” a water pipe typically used to smoke marijuana.

The sport's national governing body also cut off its financial support to Phelps for the same three-month period, effective yesterday.


Meanwhile, Kellogg Co. said it will drop its endorsement deal with Phelps in connection with the incident.

Most of his major sponsors, including Visa, Speedo, luxury Swiss watchmaker Omega and sports beverage PureSport's maker Human Performance Labs, stood by the athlete after the news, even if they didn't condone his behavior.

Well, we have seen many great athletes fell into the ground with their feet cold including Randy Barnes and Dennis Mitchell. In good faith, I hope that Michael can put his groove back over this controversial issue about doping.

We are only human and most of the time commits mistakes and since he is a public figure and a role model, all eyes are on him...
