Michael Phelps sure does like his gold…his Acapulco Gold

Well there you have it, the secret to Michael Phelps and his dolphin-like speed is not the 12000 calories per day he ingests, nor is it all the hours of training he puts in every day. No, the secret here may just be a few tokes on the water bong. There problem here is, Mr. Phelps may lose all his big money sponsorships, although his free lifetime subscription to High Times should be safe.

Allegedly, Michael made a surprise visit to a University of South Carolina house party where this photo above was snapped.

Source revealed: “Michael came to visit Jordan but ended up just getting wasted every night.”

“He arrived with a group of girls hanging all over him. Jaws hit the floor when he walked in. You don’t get many celebrities in Columbia, so when Phelps comes to your party it’s a very big deal.

“He didn’t know many people so you’d think he’d be a little shy. But he was loud, obnoxious and slamming beers from the get-go.

“Every girl wanted a piece of him and every guy wanted to be his best buddy. He couldn’t get enough of all the attention.”

“You could tell Michael had smoked before. He grabbed the bong and a lighter and knew exactly what to do. “He looked just as natural with a bong in his hands as he does swimming in the pool. He was the gold medal winner of bong hits. Michael ended up getting a little paranoid, though, because before too long he looked like he was nervous and ran out of the place.”
