Then why isn't A-Rod being charged with possession of steroids since he admitted to using them? About the only way these steroid users get any punishment is when they lie under oath and get charged with perjury later on.

Pro sports, and some amateur levels, are utterly pathetic. I'm an avid cyclist and race a decent amount. Used to race a lot as a teenager. The amount of performance enhancing drugs being used in cycling is pathetic. We've even had some people at the amateur level get busted.

Personally, I think the marijuana issue with Phelps is a non-issue, even if he is charged. Put him on probation and call it a day. How many first time pot offenders actually get jail time.
