British tabloid News of the World has an exclusive report about Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps being caught smoking a bong, a drug paraphernalia or a device used to smoke a substance.

News of the World also has an exclusive photo to support the article, where Phelps was pictured puffing from the bong.

I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again," he said.
