USA Swimming has disciplined Olympic swimming champion Michael Phelps, who said over the weekend he would attend a rehab program after he was charged last week with driving under the influence in Baltimore.
Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, released a statement Sunday on his Twitter page, saying, “The past few days have been extremely difficult. I recognize that this is not my first lapse in judgment, and I am extremely disappointed with myself. I’m going to take some time away to attend a program that will provide the help I need to better understand myself.”
