Last February, a snap of the Charm City native smoking marijuana through a pipe was leaked to the British press. The athlete later apologized and was slapped with a 30-day suspension. In August, Phelps was fined $40 for carrying an invalid driving license after a motorist plowed into his Escalade in Downtown Baltimore.

Carrie met the strapping 6′4″ athlete at a party in Las Vegas in August 2008, shortly after Phelps won a record nine gold medals at the Summer Olympics in Beijing.

The bizarre baby plan was cooked up by Carrie’s equally-deranged mother, Francine, who urged the ex-Miss California and Miss USA runner-up to get knocked up by the pot-puffin’ Phelps. Motivated by Michael’s millions, Francine allegedly tried convincing her stunning 22-year-old daughter that if she became pregnant and slammed the nine-time gold medalist with a massive paternity suit, their family would be able to continously tap into the money the champion swimmer earns in endorsements.

“She had said to Carrie that she thought she should get pregnant by Michael Phelps — that she’d be set for life,” Francine’s friend Valerie Vetrano revealed in an interview with RadarOnline last week.

Carrie’s response to the suggestion? An frustrated: “Oh, mom….”

Officers who arrived at the scene did not administer field sobriety tests because the 24-year-old gold medal-winning Olympian — who was arrested for DUI in 2004 — showed no signs of impairment at the scene. Amanda Virkus, the other driver involved in the accident, ran a red light in her late model Honda Accord before colliding with Phelps’ Cadillac Escalade, putting her at fault for the accident, police say.

“We had our very best eyes on the situation, and we’re very well aware of his history and his notoriety,” Baltimore Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. “We wanted to make sure that everything was done by the book.”

Michael will be cited for driving with an invalid, out-of-state license.

Baltimore Police plan to cite the gold medalist for driving without a driver’s license and for not having established residency in Maryland after he presented them with an expired Maryland license, The Associated Press reports. Michael will not be fined, but is required to appear in court.

Amanda Virkus, the driver of the Honda Accord that collided with Michael’s black 2007 Cadillac Escalade, will be cited for failure to obey a red light and causing an accident, says Baltimore Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi. Those citations carry a maximum penalty of a $180 fine and three points on a driver’s license.

An unidentified woman who was behind the wheel of the Honda was taken to the hospital; although her injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

A cooperative Michael remained at the scene, WBAL reports.

Michael Phelps discussed his future goals and the marijuana-smoking photo that nearly ruined his athletic career on The Tonight Show Tuesday.

Fourteen Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps has reclaimed his spot as an endorsement juggernaut with the premiere of a new TV spot for sandwich chain Subway.

The campaign, entitled “Be Yourself,” is Michael’s first appearance for the company since he was photographed hitting a bong during a frat party at the University of South Carolina last November That photograph was published by the British tabloid News of the World in January.

Fourteen time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps is adding children’s book author to his resume.

The champion swimmer just finished penning How to Train with a T. Rex and Win 8 Gold Medals, The Associated Press reports. The book follows the swimmer’s training regimen and features illustrations of Michael, his bulldog Herman, and his coach Bob Bowman.

“It’s a fun way for kids to learn and for me to get a lot of different messages out there,” Michael tells The AP. “Having Bob and Herman in the book is cool.”

Did “Bong Boy” Michael Phelps go for the gold in a three-hour threesome with a pair of strippers?

Over the weekend, Theresa White, a lap dancer at a club in the Olympic gold medal winner’s hometown of Baltimore, MD., told Britain’s News of the World that she and her gal pal hooked up with the champion swimmer in a raunchy romp earlier this year, and despite the fact that Michael is the dictionary definition of a “Butterhead,” both ladies were impressed by his “stamina.”

“He said he liked short girls and I thought that was funny because he’s so tall. At the his place we started playing drinking games. Two hours later I was pretty drunk and I went up to Michael and said, ‘If you were to have a threesome tonight, who would you like it to be with?’ He told me he’d never had one before but said it would be with me and then pointed at another girl,” Theresa explained.

“Everybody else stayed put while we went upstairs and jumped into bed. The sex lasted for about three hours. Michael should get another Olympic gold for marathon love-making!”
