COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A South Carolina sheriff is not going to
charge swimmer Michael Phelps after a photo of the 14-time gold
medalist showed him smoking from a marijuana pipe.
Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott made the decision Monday.
The photo showed Phelps smoking from a marijuana pipe at a
University of South Carolina party in November when he visited the
school.
Phelps has called his judgment bad and said he would learn from
his mistake.
He was suspended by USA Swimming for three months in the wake of
the photo, and Kellogg Co. said it would not renew its endorsement
deal with one of the world's most acclaimed athletes.
