“ The Night Things Went Bong “
Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps talks to Matt Laurer of NBC news Dateline about the night In South Carolina when the controversial photo was taken of Phelps smoking from a bong.
“It was a small group of people and we were just sitting around celebrating,” he tells Lauer in his first TV interview since the photo was taken
IT was a bad mistake a very stupid thing to do when asked by Laurer if he was smoking pot. I want to and have to teach people that its wrong and not to make the same mistake that I have.
Phelps said that after his Olympic win in Beijing he wanted to relax a bit.
”I was just blowing off steam and relaxing and having fun,” he said of the party pictures that were taken of him after the Olympics.
