<p><span id="more-752"></span></p>
<p>But due to Phelps was photographed smoking bong in a party, despite he&#8217;s admitted and apologized, but unfortunately he&#8217;s now deemed to have unsuitable image for the company. Perhaps, many others that use Phelps to promote their products may also follow the food step.</p>
<div style="background:#F3F4FD;padding:3px;border:1px dotted #990000;">
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We originally built the relationship with Michael, as well as the other Olympic athletes, to support our association with the U.S. Olympic team,&#8221; a company spokeswoman says in a statement. &#8220;Michael&#8217;s most recent behavior is not consistent with the image of Kellogg. His contract expires at the end of February and we have made a decision not to extend his contract.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

And this time it&#8217;s <a href="http://www.techchee.com/2008/12/15/michale-phelps-and-505-games-to-collaborate-and-develop-new-iphone-videogames/">Michael Phelps</a>, who swept away 8 gold medals at the Beijing Olympics and was photographed smoking marijuana bong, drinking beer and flirting with girls in a party.</p>
<p><span id="more-660"></span></p>
<p><P>The saddest thing is once you&#8217;ve become a celebrity, you can&#8217;t run away from the eyes of paparazzi. He has the right to be in the party, smoking, drinking an flirting with girls. But the media is much smarter these days, and they&#8217;re able to learn that Phelps could have been smoking bong for long time, by simply taking a look at how he grabbed the bong and a lighter. It looks so natural with a bong in his hands just like how familiar he is with the swimming pool. And Phelps admitted that!</p>
<div style="background:#F2F3FF;padding:2px;border:1px dotted #334499;">
<blockquote>
<p>The newspaper also revealed that Phelps&#8217; management had bargained with them not to print the photo: &#8220;Spokesman Clifford Bloxham offered us an extraordinary deal not to publish our story, saying Phelps would become our columnist for three years, host events and get his sponsors to advertise with us.&#8221;</p>
<p><P>Phelps (23), who has won 14 gold medals in his career admitted to smoking the bong, and made a public apology: “I engaged in behaviour which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgement.&#8221;</p>

<p>Usain Bolt won gold by a huge margin at the Olympic 200 meter men&#8217;s final tonight. The silver medalist is Churandy Martina of the Dutch Antilles. Sadly, American Wallace Spearmon finished was disqualified as he ran out of his lane, which he finished 3rd. The bronze medal was then awarded to the team mate, Shawn Crawford.</p>
<p>The picture below shows the old 200 meter world record, set by Michael Johnson of USA at 19:32 seconds, in Atlanta 1996. And now it&#8217;s been shattered by Usain Bolt with new world record of 19:30</p>

<p><span id="more-90"></span></p>
<p>At Beijing Olympic, he won the two races with stunning great distance. While he was finishing the 100 meter race on Saturday, he was reportedly having his shoe lace loosen during the last 20 meters. Meaning that if it was not because of the shoe lace, he could have run faster. And perhaps he could have run below 19:50 seconds.</p>
<p>The previous 200-meter world record of 19.32 seconds was set by Michael Johnson at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, which was record that everyone felt that at that time it was like unbreakable. Of course, no one knew at the time about a 9-year-old Jamaican named <b>Usain Bolt</b>. He&#8217;s also the first athlete to win both the 100 and the 200 since Carl Lewis in 1984. The world&#8217;s fastest man, now only 21-year old, and the two races he won with great distances. Well, who else could beat him in the next few years? He&#8217;d have more world records to break.</p>

<p>She got many press attentions due to her attractive look. And people wondering why she competes in the Javelin. Surprisingly, she owns her own modeling calendar. She finished 2nd in the 2006 Miss Paraguay contest. She seems to be good in modeling but she seems to be not that good in the javelin event.</p>
<p>She was reported to have finished second-to-last in the qualifying round with a throw that was 12 meters short of her personal best.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href='http://askalexia.com/wp-content/uploads//2008/08/liu-xiang-pulled-out.jpg'><img src="http://askalexia.com/wp-content/uploads//2008/08/liu-xiang-pulled-out-300x201.jpg" alt="" title="liu-xiang-pulled-out" width="300" height="201" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-79" /></a><br/><b>Liu Xiang</b>, the hero of Asian and all the Asian girls, especially Chinese. The dream of every girl has been shattered since Monday, Aug 18th, which Liu decided to pull out from the the 100 meter hurdles heat due to an ankle injury.</p>
<p><span id="more-78"></span></p>
<p>The 25-year-old Liu Xiang grabbed the Olympic gold medal for the 110 meter hurdles in Atherns Olympic 4 years ago. And he also broke the world record in 2006 and held it at 12.88 seconds until June, this year, which the record shattered by the Cuba, Dayron Robles who clocked at 12.87 seconds.</p>
<p>
<p>Liu Xiang</b> has got extremely high commercial values in China and throughout the world for companies that sell sport products. Especially for Nike has spent tons of bucks on him, getting him to feature on the recent ads on the company in Beijing. Forbes listed Liu&#8217;s earning last year managed to secure him $23.9 million, third highest on the Chines celebrity list headed by Yao Ming, the Chinese NBA star.</p>
<p>What a shame? Feeling sympathy? Liu Xiang is just a man. Some say he chose this way to pull out is to retain his fame or he can&#8217;t sustain the pressure put on him with lots of press and media, billions of eyes on him if he managed to get through to the final, and some more a super strong competitor is there, the Cuban. He couldn&#8217;t stand the pressure that he&#8217;d most likely lose in the final? No, that is purely injury that&#8217;s bothered him? Isn&#8217;t it? Videos are attached below how Liu Xiang pulled out from the heat and limping away</p>
