7. Michael Phelps
After an image circulated around the internet of Gold medalist and Olympian Michael Phelps taking a hit from a bong at a party, College kids rejoiced while everyone else lost their minds. The image cost him his advertising endorsement deal with Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes. The U.S. swimming officials also suspended Phelps for three months from competition. He was also stripped of his financial support from USA Swimming as well.
But take away a man’s bong, and he’ll replace it with a bottle. Phelps was recently arrested in 2014 for a DUI charge in Maryland. Phelps was caught going 84 mph in a 45 mph zone. But as it turns out, this was not his first DUI. The athlete was first arrested back in 2004 after driving under the influence. As the 2016 Olympics are approaching and with these odds placed against him, Phelps announced that he is still aiming to compete in the upcoming games.
