The Richland County Sheriff’s office didn’t have enough evidence to prosecute the Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps or anyone else according to People magazine for smoking a bong at a November 2008 frat party.

Here’s what Michael had to say about the news: 

“I’m glad this matter is put to rest. But there are also some important lessons that I’ve learned,” Phelps, 23, said in a statement Monday.

“For me, it’s all about recognizing that I used bad judgment and it’s a mistake I won’t make again. For young people especially – be careful about the decisions you make. One bad decision can really hurt you and the people you care about.”

LESSON LEARNED?
