Phelps banned for 3 months...

[PaintYourTarget]

Apparently, for smoking from a bong. Although he didn't fail any doping tests, the American Team has handed him the ban and 3 month cut from funding.

It's a blatent ploy by America. They've realised that he's their best sportsman so they've given him a 3 month ban just to say that they've done something about it, when really, he's only just come back into training so won't be competing for a while.

Three months..?

[PaintYourTarget]

It's not exactly performance enhancing though is it? Just sets a bad example to children. I think 3months is about right, takes him out the press and competitions and he can come back when it's all blown over.

Reckon it's strawberry flavour?

[Geraint]

He wasn't in training or competition at the time so he hasn't broken any anti-doping rules.

They just want to prove a point and keep his feet on the ground, obviously.

[leah]

They're making an example of him
