ROOR: The Michael Phelps Bong Of Champions
By Sean Percival on February 1, 2009
Sure you may already know that Olympic champion Michael Phelps was caught smoking weed. Like me you are probably wondering what type of gear does a gold medal swimmer use? With that great lung capacity surely only the best will do!
Turns out its the ROOR 3.2 Bong, standing about one foot this “water pipe” is a favorite among stoners across the great ol’ USA.
Update: A Manolith commenter points out its actually a ROOR custom, like what you find here.

they just hit the jackpot with this unsolicited endorsement
Your article is wrong. That’s not a RooR 3.2, its a RooR Custom. it was most likely ordered from http://www.everyonedoesit.com because they carried that custom for a while. To the best of my knowledge its the RooR Red Vengence tube. 55cm tall, 5mm thick. Very nice piece. A+ Phelps.
Pictures of said waterpipe can be found here: http://www.everyonedoesit.com/online_headshop/Ice_FairmasterYellow3_Part.cfm?iProductID=4007

Thanks for the note, we’ve updated the post to reflect that info.
Everyone should just leave Michael Phelps alone and give him some privacy. And I would love to hear President Obama come out in support of Micheal Phelps on this situation.
[...] I’ve had to mull for a few days before deciding what to say about swim star Michael Phelps being photographed ripping a fatty from a schweet Roor Custom. [...]
yea he is using a custom RooR that is extremely nice… $500 tube…
It’s a Roor Custom Fairmaster 5.0- Red Vengeance
[...] laws being what they are, one wonders if the real reason for the bust was to get their hands on that RooR Custom so they could sell it themselvs. Otherwise this makes no sense whatsoever – spending tens of [...]
The link is not to the official RooR website. This is the official RooR website: http://www.roor.de
where is the smoke? he is clearly “inhaling”. also where is the slide piece? the top should be almost level with the red nubs. where is it? and if he is lighting it…where is the relection of the flame in the tube? the glare in the red part is from the copmuter. can anyone answer these questions for me?z
Haha! I love that, “Bong of Champions”. Makes me feel proud to own and use a RooR.
RooR Pride.
To Ru$$el: This was taken as he lit the bong, not as he smoked it. The slide is covered by his lighting hand. As i said already he didn’t light it yet.
Hope that helped.
WOW nice piece phelps way to go! hey everyone look you can smoke weed AND be an OLYMPIAN
