Super-Olympian, Michael Phelps, has decided to enter rehab after being arrested for a second time in 10 years. Phelps was arrested on September 30th when police pulled him over for going 84 in a 45. Once pulled, the officer noticed that Phelps was drunk and he was booked for a DUI.

The first DUI arrest happened back in 2004.

Phelps has now apologized and says he will enter rehab.

“I am extremely disappointed with myself. I’m going to take some time away to attend a program that will provide the help I need to better understand myself. Swimming is a major part of my life, but right now I need to focus my attention on me as an individual, and do the necessary work to learn from this experience and make better decisions in the future.”

Hopefully Phelps can get the treatment he seeks, because he has too much talent to throw away on booze. Luckily cops pulled him over before an accident and anyone else was hurt.
