Michael Phelps could get in trouble for Louis Vuitton photos
Stupid IOC Rule?
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/olympi...4124--oly.html Michael Phelps could be in hot water -- not the cold bathtub he appears to be in -- for his recent photo shoot with the French luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton. Photos of Phelps taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz were leaked on the Internet late last week, violating the International Olympic Committee's controversial Rule 40, which states athletes can't promote any non-Olympic sponsors from July 18 to Aug. 15. Punishments for the rule range from fines to a stripping of medals. |

Good point. If they try to fine him can't he tell them to go **** themselves? What are they going to do, not let him be in any more Olympics?

He's not promoting if they weren't actually released. He didn't break the rule.
