Highs and lows have taught Phelps a lesson
(Agencies)
Updated: 2005-07-15 09:12 Two things happened to Michael
Phelps last year that changed his life forever.
The first was at the Athens Olympics where he won six gold and two bronze
medals to establish himself as the world's greatest all-round swimmer.
The second, just a few months later, happened at Salisbury in Maryland, but
there were no medals and no cheering crowds this time.
Phelps was arrested and charged with drink-driving when he jumped behind the
wheel of his car after a college party. He could have gone to prison but escaped
with 18 months' probation.
The two incidents represented the highest and lowest
points of his life but combined to make him a more balanced person.
