Michael Phelps, the golden boy of the Beijing Olympics, is starting to see some fallout from his bong smoking incident. USA Swimming his hit Phelps with a very lenient three month suspension on on competing and since there are no major events in the next three months this equals a slap on the wrist. They stated that they wanted to send a message about conduct and that this suspension is not the result of violating the groups anti-doping rules. On top of the suspension Phelps also was dropped from Kellogg’s, a major sponsor, due to the controversy.
