USA Swimming stated the following:
USA Swimming has reprimanded Michael Phelps under its Code of Conduct by withdrawing financial support and the eligibility to compete for a period of three months effective today, Feb. 5, 2009.
This is not a situation where any anti-doping rule was violated, but we decided to send a strong message to Michael because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero.
SMH...I hate when people still call it dope! It's not the 70's!
"It's just a plant. It just grows like that. And if you just happen to set it on fire..." Katt Williams...LOL!
