UPDATED: Michael Phelps Busted Again!

Posted on November 24, 2009 - 12:23am by Katie
**UPDATE: Looks like TMZ, who were the first to report this story, messed up bigtime.

There is a Michael Phelps who owes money on his taxes, but not the SWIMMER Michael Phelps.

Check your facts TMZ!

***********************************

Uh Oh!  More troubled waters  for Michael Phelps!

This time, the swimmer extraordinaire is in trouble with Uncle Sam.  Phelps owes the State of California $23,289.16 for tax returns filed in 2005 and 2006!

The USA's 'Golden Boy' has also been recently busted for carrying an invalid driver's license and smoking marijuana!

Let's hope he pulls it together!

    You know, Michael Phelps got a $1 million bonus just for winning I think his 5th gold medal, not including all of his sponsorships and other salaries and interviews and awards and everything else. 23 grand? That's like the IRS sending me a letter saying I owed 12 bucks from my 2005 tax return. I think I'd find a way to scrape by.

    And by the way, I can pretty much guarantee you that "invalid driver's license" means he didn't get it renewed in time. And how many people are there really left in the world who have never smoked pot? So yeah, he's certainly a hardened criminal if I've ever seen one!
