George Vecsey:

Phelps has not denied or confirmed anything. He has instead apologized for setting a bad example, which it most certainly was. No matter how many people defend marijuana and extol decriminalizing it, there are studies that say the stuff is bad for important functions like reasoning, and can lead to worse abuses.

The swimming federation and Kellogg have every right in fact, a responsibility to punish Phelps.

Ah, yes, bad for reasoning. Unlike a lifetime of drinking beer or whiskey.
