How come Phelps' medals weren't taken away then?

Double standard.

Plus he was Canadian, plus he only won one medal(instead of 8)

Definite double standard.

I understand that.

It's an apples-oranges comparison.

Huh? They're comparing Phelps to another Olympic athlete who got medals taken away for marijuana use.

Also, like I've said for years. You can use steroids all you want, but it wont help you hit the ball any better. It takes amazing hand eye coordination to be able to hit something that is traveling 95mph in which you have less than half a second to make up your mind if you will or wont swing.

It was like that snow border kid in the winter olympics a few years back that got his gold medal taken away for testing positive for weed...WEED, I mean come on, dude scores a gold medal while toking a doob, I'd give that mother fucker 10 gold medals for that.

Did you wake'n'bake this morning?
