Did an "American Hero" let us down?

As we all know Michael Phelps was caught this weekend smoking marijuana. Many beloved fans of all ages across the nation were upset with this picture. They were let down by their American Hero. Amongst all the great things Phelps has done I am really not surprised. He is a 23 year old kid who is not perfect. He is young and will live an adventurous and unexpected life. There isn't one athlete that we can really look forward to. Stars and athletes get caught with drugs or alcohol possession and consumption all the time and they get away with it. Phelps shouldn't be any different.
