"You don't need a lecture from the court," Baltimore District Judge Nathan Braverman told Phelps. "If you haven't gotten the message by now, or forget the message, the only option is jail."
Probation allows the most decorated Olympian ever to focus on training for the 2016 Games in Rio De Janeiro, which would be his fifth. The 29-year-old came out of a year's retirement with his sights set on Rio, and the plea is not expected to have any ill effect on those plans.

Thank goodness the second DUI didn't have a negative effect on his training. We'd hate for consequences of criminal behavior to interfere with personal plans.
He sets a bad example for kids who admire him as an Olympian. Would the punishment have been the same for some unknown person?
What a loser. How dare him or anyone else put other's lives in danger. If you drive after drinking then you have a death wish, so go put a gun to your head and blow your brains out, but how dare you put other's at risk,
2 DUI's and no punishments! How many of you can say the same. Now that's justice!
He needs to hire a chaufer he sure as hell can afford it.
Maybe he'll come and speak to Salisbury Middle School again, and tell the kiddies for the 2nd time how wrong it is to drink & drive. ;)
