Michael Phelps apologises for Marijuana-smoking picture
Los Angeles, Feb 3 (PTI) After photos of him smoking marijuana surfaced in the British newspaper 'News of the World' Olympic Gold medal winner Michael Phelps has acknowledged the authenticity of the photographs while apologising for the "youthful and inappropriate " behaviour, reported People magazine."I engaged in behaviour which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment," the Olympic swimming champion said Sunday in a statement released by his marketing agency 'Octagon'.
" I'm 23 years old, and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again," he said.
The published picture is claimed to have been taken on November 6, 2008 while Phelps was visiting his alleged girlfriend Jordan Matthews at a house party.
"Michael came to visit Jordan but ended up just getting wasted every night," a source told 'News of the World'.
"You could tell Michael had smoked before. He grabbed the bong and a lighter and knew exactly what to do," the source further added. PTI CORR
