Phelps sets poor example, risks KA LEO O HAWAI‘I ANNOUNCES endorsements by toking up A SPECIAL ADVANCE SCREENING Wednesday, February 11, 2009 • 7pm Crystal Crowns (U-WIRE) The Daily Cardinal, Kahala Mall Theatre University of Wisconsin

When I first became aware of Michael Phelps’ photograph with a bong in a British tabloid, I didn’t know what to think. I kept wondering if the stress of being so successful at such a young age caused Phelps to rebel, but then I realized that acts such as these are simply unacceptable when you have a positive image to maintain. Phelps has won 14 Olympic gold medals, with eight coming from the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Both of these numbers are Olympic records. He also held seven world records in swimming at the end of 2008. The photograph with the pipe may have been taken months ago, during the swimming off-season, but as a result of his success, Phelps needs to understand that ALEX MARSH/MCT people are watching his every move.
