Anyway...

Phelps took marihuana right? Alcohol is worse the marihuana, so it really isn't that bad...
Marihuana is soft drugs and alcohol is a hard drugs. I've used both and alcohol is more dangerous, believe me.

still not exactly proffesional conduct to abuse either though is it?

i agree that alcohol is more dangerous, but the title of your thread says "proffessional", now whereas i consider some people to be proffesional in terms of standard of ability, theyre conduct as a person may be incredibly un-proffessional.

for instance, i consider Micheal Schumacher to be a super sportsman in terms of ability, but some of the things he did as a driver...i consider very un-proffesional.

that's why i want clarification as to what the subject is here, if its just in terms of ability, then yes, Phelps could be considered, but if its in terms of both ability and conduct, well, one might wish to review his consideration?

*i dont actually know what he took, i only know of him because he won in the olympics which was on the news here, my comment was directed at the thread in general, not any specific athlete* 

Phelps issued a public apology after the News of the World published a photo of him inhaling from the type of glass pipe used to smoke cannabis.

 

And considering it being more dangerous than alcohol is irrelevant, he took illegal drugs. He should obey the rules of the land to provide a good example.
