Phelps plunges into alcohol – Sports.fr

Michael Phelps, one of the greatest champions in the history of swimming, is not the ideal son. The American 29-year-old was controlled driving his vehicle in flagrante delicto of excess speed and under the influence of alcohol.

Michael Phelps was arrested while intoxicated Tuesday in Baltimore, at the wheel of his car, according to Tmz.com. It was about 1:40 in the morning and the American was traveling at 135 km / h instead of 70 Initially, the police arrested only for this excessive speed (and a crossing white line), but the representative of the order was then realized that the swimmer was alcoholic.

His control was obviously twice the legal limit allowed. Phelps was previously arrested in 2004 for drink-driving at the age of 19. Pleading guilty, he was then released with a probation period of 18 months. At 29, the applicant will therefore offer a new route to court.

As a reminder, during the winter of 2009 News of the World had broadcast shots of the star was smoking cannabis. All these differences have obviously not prevented from entering the history of his discipline and sport in general since it remains the athlete to have won the most Olympic medals, 22 in total.
