Michael Phelps Bio

Michael Phelps is a record breaking Olympian who has won 14 gold medals - the most in history to be picked up by a single athlete.

By 2008, he had seven world records in swimming. Phelps also holds the record for the most gold medals at a single Olympics and his 2008 Beijing Games earned him eight more medals!

His medal total to date is a whooping 16, and the 6'4 dolphin boy is only 23 years old. In 2008, he earned the coveted Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year title and cover.

He has also written two books: Beneath the Surface and No Limits: The Will to Succeed.

In addition to swimming, Michael enjoys drinking. He was arrested in November 2004 for driving under the influence of alcohol in Salisbury, Maryland. He plead guilty and was granted probation.

In 2009 he found himself in hot water again when British tabloid, News of the World, published a photo of Phelps inhaling smoke from a marijuana bong. No charges were filed and Kellogg's has been the only endorsement that dropped him.

Michael is also a man wh*re and has been dating all the hottest girls across the country. Play on, playa!
