Why doesn't the world get over this?  So he takes a sly poke every once in a while..probably has for years, and will continue to do so, except this time somebody got a pic.  Obviously he doesn't smoke so much that it affects his breathing, nor does he do it while in training or competition.  And let's be realistic about this "role model" bullshit.  He's a 23 year old man.  Young, dum, and full of cum.  He was at a party.  He likes to get high occasionally...but...this time, he got "caught".  Next time, he'll have to have the good sense, to do it in the dark, behind the bushes or something.  And..if he had any brains, he shoulda thought on his feet and said, "yeah it was a bong allright,  but I was smoking legal bud (there is such a thing...they are herbal concoctions)".  How can they prove it was weed?  Much ado about nothing...let's move on.  Most of his endorsers are satisfied with his scripted apology, and the IOC is not gonna do anything either.  Neither Columbia nor the State of SC are pressing charges, the one outlier being some PUTZ Sherriff in East Bumfuck County (or wherever he was), that wants to stick it to him.  It's a misdemeanor..with a 300$ fine...hopefully it won't go that far, and they couldn't win anyways, not with a good Attorney for Michael, which I'm sure he can well afford.    Burden of proof is on the County, and they have a photo only...not any scraped residue from a Bong.
