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.

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.

I agree completely with what your saying.

Exactly. If Phelps had tested positive for any banned substance during the olympics his medals would have been taken away. What he does after the competition is irrelevant.

Double standard.

First, the Canadian snowboarder had his medal restored to him, it was only taken away temporarily.

Second, Phelps was smart enough to not be around weed before or during the competition. The snowboarder was not as smart. The additional stupidity on the part of the snowboarder does not create a double standard.

You guys keep bringing up weed and comparing it to steroids likes it's a performance enhancing drug. Who cares if athletes smoke pot?
