I read yesterday that Phelps was suspended for his pot smoking photo. I don't have the link, sorry. He's just a kid and given what some athletes have done, it pales in comparison but it was still a stupid move on his part and his stupidity may cost him. He isn't an athlete that plays at his sport seasonally for money just as football, basketball and baseball players do. His money would come mainly from endorsements, wouldn't it? If he's suspended, I imagine that companies wouldn't be so eager to have him endorse their products. I don't know; I'm asking.

USA Swimming Suspends Phelps for 3 Months

There's a link to the ABCNews story.
Here are a couple of brief quotes from the article that may address your questions:

Michael Phelps' day grew lousier by the hour on Thursday. First he lost a major sponsor, then he got suspended. The Olympic great was suspended from competition for three months by USA Swimming, the latest fallout from a photo that showed him inhaling from a marijuana pipe.

The sport's national governing body also cut off its financial support to Phelps for the same three-month period, effective immediately.

Earlier Thursday, cereal and snack maker Kellogg Co. announced it wouldn't renew its sponsorship contract with Phelps, saying his behavior is "not consistent with the image of Kellogg." The swimmer appeared on the company's cereal boxes after his Olympic triumph.

USA Swimming provides a $1,750 monthly stipend to national team members to help defray travel and training expenses, plus performance bonuses. However, it's a small percentage of the millions Phelps makes through endorsements.
