I think you have a classic apples and oranges thing going.
Phelps just does not get it. Hey clown, you are getting paid millions to be a squeeky clean poster boy for amature athletics. He is just plain stupid. Then he flapps his jaw and says yep, I broke the law and that is a picture of me doing it.... Now put yourself in a cop's position, if you are the head cop of the city or county what must you do? This clown left you no choice, really, to get up on national TV and say "I broke the law" a cop has little choice but to at least try to bust him or he must turn in his badge. The tank and 50 cal is a seperate issue, but on the face it does sound like the heveyweight bout of the year between stupid and moron. Barney VS Guber. Best, Ed

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.

As much as I think Phelps is an ass for allowing himself to be in that situation, I think the law is the last of his worries. That stint likely cost him millions of dollars in endorsements. I know some of his sponsors pulled the plug on him and others didn't.
Amazing the Human Being! Strive for success then allow self to implode once you get there.
