Phelps banned for 3 months...

[--ss--]

Idiot, why do that honestly. Sure do it in private but take pictures off it when you're a big star and hope that nothing happens to you? ^^.

You have to applaud the Americans for such a great ploy.

They ban Phelps, who's just come back into training and won't compete for a while. This shows to other athletes that they're taking it seriously and no-one can complain that he hasn't been punished. Brilliant.

It's a lot better for them than the ban we wanted to see, which would have meant him missing the Olympics

Unfortunately, doping bans are either 2-years or life bans, so he probably wouldn't have missed the Olympics anyway.
