Phelps Taking Time Off!

You read the title of the post correctly, U.S. Swimmer Michael Phelps has been suspended by the USA Swimming. He will be suspended for 3 months, plus all financial support from the USA Swimming. USA Swimming is trying to send a strong message that this type of behavior isn’t allowed, by anyone, even Phelps. I did read that Phelps did voluntarily accepted the suspension and work hard to earn back the trust that was given to him. I personally don’t know if 3 months is long enough, but what do I really know. I was surprise that the federation even gave a suspension considering he won eight gold medals in Beijing. So I guess this will do for know.
