He was really trying to blow out a plugged garbage disposal clog in the kitchen.
That's the new story.


Bejing Olympic Superstar Micheal Phleps has recanted his version and apology of the photos allegedly showing him inhaling from a marijuana water pipe.

"Dude, I was at a party and we were trying to get rid of some of the munchi---
Ah, food we are scarfing down. We plugged up the dispsoal when someone dropped a Taco Bell burrito wrapper in, and someone suggested I blow out the clog with my awesome lung power.....Dude, I can hold my breath almost the length of the pool, ya know?"

Can he still rin for president now?

Phleps also has a DUI on his record, after getting picked up for boozing and driving after the 04 Athens games!
