LET"S MAKE IT RAIN ON THEM SKRIPPAS!
Page Six is claiming that since the above photo surfaced, Phelps has been extremely aware of photos taken of him during his extra-curriculars. He has reportedly had the windows of his Baltimore house tinted to prevent paparazzi from snapping shots of him at home and has been "hiding out at strip clubs," since they're the only places he can party with no pictures being taken.
When the photo first surfaced a few weeks ago, it seemed as though the outcome was grim. First Kellog said they would not renew their contract with Phelps when their deal expires at the end of February 2009. Then USA Swimming annouced that Phelps would be suspended for 3 months, banning him from competitions and ceasing his monthly stipend of $1,750 a month from the organization during the suspension.
Several of Phelps’s sponsors, including Speedo, Omega and Visa, have accepted his apology. Others, including Subway, have not taken a position. As it stands, Phelps’s actions have put a dent into his sponsorship spoils, which some marketing experts say could reach $100 million in his lifetime.
And for those you are not mathmetically inclined, thats a whole lot of lap dances that will never happen in the champagne room...
