Michael Phelps has been suspended by USA Swimming for three months over that picture of him smoking pot from a bong.
“This is not a situation where any anti-doping rule was violated, but we decided to send a strong message to Michael because he disappointed so may people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero,” USA Swimming said in a statement Thursday.
The organization has also cut off financial support to 23-year-old for the duration of his suspension.
Word is Phelps will not fight the suspension, which he says is ‘Fair.’
