Well, the millions of dollars he will loose in endorsments seems like a pretty life changing event just so you can smoke some pot.
Yeah seriously.
Hmmm, being a normal 20-something that everyone relates to because you smoke pot and are cool with it, or losing millions of dollars in endorsement income...
If he hadn't apologized to save face I'd probably start thinking that weed really does affect your common sense.

Talk about a puss-bag apology. Obviously he shamed himself for the cash, but it still looks like such a wanker move. Weak.

Not a single one of you would have done anything different. Let's be real here.

Speaking of which, WADA (world anti-doping agency) used to have the Rebagliati line which defined the amount of THC you are allowed to have in your system and not be considered positive. They have since gotten rid of it.
Of all the canadian athletes (and i mean national team athletes) that have tested positive in the last 4 or 5 years, 90% have been for weed, haha. Surprisingly weed is only considered as a banned substance "in competition". When you're in the off season and test positive you don't receive a penalty. Our national team doc told us this, a good man :D

Well that does help explain this....
OLYMPIC GOLDEN BOY PHELPS EATS 12000 CALORIES A DAY - New York Post
Swimming sensation Michael Phelps has an Olympic recipe for success - and it involves eating a staggering 12,000 calories a day.
"Eat, sleep and swim. That's all I can do," Phelps, who won two more gold medals today, told NBC when asked what he needs to win medals. "Get some calories into my system and try to recover the best I can."
By comparison, the average man of the same age needs to ingest about 2,000 calories a day.
Phelps, 23, will swim 17 times over nine days of competition at the Beijing Games - meaning that he will need all the calories he can shovel in his mouth in order to keep his energy levels high.
Phelps' diet - which involves ingesting 4,000 calories every time he sits down for a meal - resembles that of a reckless overeater rather than an Olympian.
Phelps lends a new spin to the phrase "Breakfast of Champions" by starting off his day by eating three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise.
He follows that up with two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar and three chocolate-chip pancakes.
At lunch, Phelps gobbles up a pound of enriched pasta and two large ham and cheese sandwiches slathered with mayo on white bread - capping off the meal by chugging about 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.
For dinner, Phelps really loads up on the carbs - what he needs to give him plenty of energy for his five-hours-a-day, six-days-a-week regimen - with a pound of pasta and an entire pizza.
He washes all that down with another 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.
