By now I’m sure everyone has heard about this story. I’m really happy that Michael Phelps decided to come clean about this. He chose not to go down the same path as Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire, or even Bill Clinton. I’m also glad to see that all his sponsors are standing behind him. People should realize that even though he is a gold medal winner, he is still young and is going to make mistakes. Good for you Michael!

Michael Phelps goes a perfect 8 for 8 in this years Summer Olympics, Congrats on this amazing feet!! Now that Phelps is done, NBC worries that the rating for the Olympics is going to suffer, Ya Think? I’ll be honest, the only time I tuned in was to watch each of Phelps races. Now that he has achieved 8 for 8, I’m done. Now I will say this, Demon and I did find ourselves watching one of the women’s diving events yesterday while grabbing a bite to eat, but honestly it was the only thing on.

I was able to catch the 400 medley last night while grabbing a post 6yr olds birthday party bite to eat. All I can say is WOW! Phelps didn’t even seem to be swimming at full speed. If he keeps this up, then he will accomplish what he has set out to do in this years games. Walk away with 8 gold medals, I’m sure glad he is on our side!! ;)

*EDIT*

Phelps now 3 for 3 in his quest for 8 gold medals
