"I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me.
"For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.What is your opinion about Michael Phelps and his behaviour? Do you believe he should be punished? Article from SkyNews: http://news.sky.com/, Friday February 06, 2009

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion Michael Phelps should not be punished because he apologised in public. As he said he made a mistake as a young person and we must not sentence him for this action as long as he promished it won't happen again.
