He didn't test positive during the games, so he was able to compete. It was after.

However, he lost a shit ton of sponsors, was banned from competing for months... the backlash was quite strong. It essentially started the downfall of his career overall. It was just a picture too.

I know he lost sponsorships and he got suspended. But people are already saying that it’s “not the same”

"In February 2009, a photograph of Phelps using a bong went viral; this resulted in the loss of the Kellogg Company as a sponsor, as well as a three-month suspension by USA Swimming. Phelps admitted that the photo, which was taken at a party at the University of South Carolina, was authentic. He publicly apologized, saying his behavior was "inappropriate"."


He had the balls to at least apologize
