Michael Phelps has had a rough time since that photograph of him smoking a bong surfaced: USA Swimming suspended him for three months, Kellogg dumped him as a spokesperson for their Frosted Flakes and he has had to apologize like a million times for taking that little puff…
But there seems to be at least one company that really likes the Olympic champion’s pot smoking past. Gurkha Cigars has reportedly just offered Phelps $25,000 to be their official “smokesperson.”
According to TMZ.com, the offer by Gurkha stated:
“We would like to provide you with the opportunity to do what you do best-smoke and swim. And while we can’t help you with your swimming skills, we can definitely offer you the best of the best when it comes to the cigar world.”
