Michael Phelps, 23, won 14 gold medals for swimming at the Olympics, but has his fame gone to his head? Phelps is said to be partying lately which includes drinking and smoking weed. Michael Phelps was even photographed smoking from a bong. Big mistake! Read more on Michael Phelps below

Olympic swimming star Michael Phelps is screwing up royally! Phelps was snapped while hitting the bong, which could hurt his golden boy image.

Star Magazine reports:

“Michael came to town like a bull in a China shop,” a source who spent time with Phelps in Columbia, S.C. tells Star. “He was partying out of control from the moment he got here to the moment he left.”

In town to visit a University of South Carolina sorority girl (Jordan Matthews) he was seeing, Michael instead “ended up just getting wasted every night,” says the source.

At a keg party on Nov. 6, the witness describes Michael as “loud and obnoxious and slamming beers from the get-go. He was definitely the life of the party as every girl wanted a piece of him and every guy wanted to be his best buddy. He was eating it up.

“At one point someone asked him if he wanted to smoke some weed. Michael didn’t hesitate and headed to a small back room, where he was immediately handed a big red bong. He grabbed the bong and a lighter and ripped a huge smelly bong rip.”

The source continues, “He knew exactly what he was doing. He looked just as natural with a bong in his hands as he does swimming the backstroke.”

The next night Michael hit a bar in Columbia. “Michael was holding court, throwing back shots of booze two at a time, and pouring drinks to every cute girl,” adds the source.

“If he was there to visit his girlfriend, there certainly was no sign of it that night. All the celebrity attention is making him really cocky, and he’s going to end up getting burned because of it.”

From the News of the World:

Phelps arrived at Columbia, South Carolina’s University of South Carolina to visit Jordan Matthews, a student he was seeing in early November, and proceeded to drink hard and get stoned during his wild stay.

“Michael came to visit Jordan but ended up just getting wasted every night,” says a News of the World source.

“He didn’t know many people so you’d think he’d be a little shy. But he was loud, obnoxious and slamming beers from the get-go.”

The photo that is alleged to be Phelps smoking pot was taken at a house party in the South Carolina college town.

“You could tell Michael had smoked before. He grabbed the bong and a lighter and knew exactly what to do,” the NOTW party-going snitch added.

“He looked just as natural with a bong in his hands as he does swimming in the pool. He was the gold medal winner of bong hits. Michael ended up getting a little paranoid, though, because before too long he looked like he was nervous and ran out of the place.”

So what do you think of Michael Phelps behavior? Do you think his former stripper girlfriend, Caroline Pal, has anything to do with the changes?
