Michael Phelps' Wild Weekend In Vegas
Feb. 4 2009, Published 3:32 p.m. ET
Surprising new allegations about Olympic great Michael Phelps from a pro poker player who says he partied with Phelps in Vegas last November.
Todd Brunson says he gambled and drank with the 14-time Gold Medal winner all night.
Brunson writes about that weekend on his website:
"Incredible! This guy was drinking some sort of mixed drink when I got here, then the tequila, then the whiskey, all in less than five minutes! If all of this wasn't enough, he then asked me why I wasn't at the pool during the day. Apparently, while I was lying in bed recuperating, he and his friends had been at the pool since 9 a.m. And they weren't out there training, either.
Ah, to be 23 again ... I'm sure that being in the shape he's in doesn't hurt, either. As much as he drank, I never heard him slur a word or seem the least bit impaired".
