BALTIMORE —Maryland Olympian Michael Phelps will be returning to competition in April, his longtime coach confirmed Friday.
Coach Bob Bowman told 11 News that Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, will be returning to competition in Mesa, Arizona, in April. The troubled superstar is said to be training again with Bowman with the goal of reaching the 2016 Olympics.
Phelps' return to competition will come after a six-month suspension handed to him by USA Swimming in October after he was arrested and charged with driving under the influence in the Fort McHenry Tunnel in Baltimore in September.
Phelps, 29, pleaded guilty to the charge in December. He was given a one-year suspended prison sentence and is serving 18 months of supervised probation.

He's a double offender doing something that he is just damn lucky hasn't gotten someone killed.
And others are lucky that he hasn't killed them.
