Do you really think Michael Phelps is going to suffer any for this? I think you are naive if you do. He was making millions before the Olympics. He makes even more now. I'll bet he makes money off this so-called scandel. More than the seller by a longshot. Bad publicity is not always bad. So really who is the winner here? I'd say Michael Phelps. At the very least it's put his name out there again. Staying relevant is a plus.

Respect and honor are qualities. Not something you choose to use for specific situations or people.
It doesn't matter if Phelps could afford it or not. What matters is you would choose to take advantage of someone else if it meant some money in your pocket. And the fact that you justify it so easily is telling.
