These pictures surfaced first at News Of The World a British Online Newspaper and are reportedly from a 2 day party he attended back in November. Phelps surprised some friends at the University Of South Carolina in Columbia by showing up at their house party.  He was their to visit Jordan Mathews a girlfriend he was secretly going on with.

The News Of The World reports that one party-goer who witnessed the star’s behavior said that “Phelps was out of control from the moment he got there”

“If he continues to party like that I’d be amazed if he ever won any more medals again.”

Phelps’ aides went into a panic over our story and offered us a raft of extraordinary incentives not to run the bong picture.

Our source revealed: “Michael came to visit Jordan but ended up just getting wasted every night.

“He arrived with a group of girls hanging all over him. Jaws hit the floor when he walked in. You don’t get many celebrities in Columbia, so when Phelps comes to your party it’s a very big deal.

I mean he is human and I think everyone has tried weed before.  This is just another story being blown out of proportion by the media.  Just because he is the greatest swimmer of all time doesn’t mean he is perfect and cant try new things.  We can’t even really tell if that’s him by the pictures.  Does anyone have a front shot?

“He didn’t know many people so you’d think he’d be a little shy. But he was loud, obnoxious and slamming beers from the get-go.

“Every girl wanted a piece of him and every guy wanted to be his best buddy. He couldn’t get enough of all the attention.”

Michael Phelps was the center of attention at the party and he showed that he can win a gold medal in more then just swimming.

The 6ft 4ins athlete, in a white T-shirt and navy cap worn back to front, clasped the device in his huge hands and inhaled deeply.

Our source said: “You could tell Michael had smoked before. He grabbed the bong and a lighter and knew exactly what to do.

“He looked just as natural with a bong in his hands as he does swimming in the pool. He was the gold medal winner of bong hits. Michael ended up getting a little paranoid, though, because before too long he looked like he was nervous and ran out of the place.”

Hopefully all of this can be resolved and Michael Phelps can get back to winning more gold medals in swimming and not in hitting the “B’s”.
