Is Phelps getting a second chance?


According to the president, Jacques Rogge, of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Michael Phelps is going to get his second chance.
He is not even accused of doping because the incedent happened outside of competition.
A sloppy warning is what Phelps gets: Don't do it again!

The only problem still is his duty as a role model and its nonfulfillment. And who can believe his promise not to do it again if we remember a few months after the Olympics in Athen 2004. Phelps has been arrested because he drove in a drunken condition. He admited his guilt and apologized. But he did not promise not to do it again so this time we can hope.

I think he deserves a harder punishment than the suspension of 3 months.

What do you think? Is Phelps treated right according to his behavior? Make up your mind and comment.

I disagree. He is a normal person just like the rest of us. Nobody is perfect.
