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.

Your article is wrong. That's not a RooR 3.2, its a RooR Custom. it was most likely ordered from 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

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.

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

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.
