"A drug is a drug and that is the similarity.
I was inferring that maybe Phelps should lose his medals, just as Ben and Ross. What's not to understand!"

Pot is not a performance enhancing drug, steroids are. That is why Johnson was stripped of his medal. Rebagliati was stripped of his medal but got it back for exactly that reason. Phelps was caught smoking months later. He did not have pot detected in his system during the games. As to "exposed to it at a prior party"? And I suppose you believe that Bill Clinton never inhaled.

Kellogg just dropped Phelps as a spokesman for behavior "not consistent with the image of Kellogg."

Because as we know, cereal and stoners never ever mix.

Patrick,
Rebagliati didn't smoke while in the Olympics. He was apparently exposed to it at a prior party. LOL!

Ben Johnson won an Olympic gold using performance enhancing steroid. Phelps was caught smoking pot months after his Olympic performance. Rebagliati smoked while in the Olympics, though he eventually got his medal back. I fail to see the similarity.

This is ridiculous.

Only performance enhancing drugs should apply to athletes. Ben Johnson, yes, but this is just silly.

On the other hand, had he been banned before our man Cavic would have won the gold medal. Hmm, I might change my mind...

Congratulations Phelps,
you are now truly Canadian.
We can add you to the likeS of Ben Johnson and Ross Rebagliati.

I hope the Olympic committee doesn't rescind your medals.
