Sanity In the Phelps Fiasco?

Mark Draughn

Strangely, it appears sanity may prevail in the ridiculous investigation into Michael Phelps' alleged pot smoking by Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott:

COLUMBIA, S.C. - A South Carolina sheriff said Monday he was not going to charge swimmer Michael Phelps after a photo of the 14-time gold medalist showed him smoking from a marijuana pipe.

Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said he couldn't ignore the photo but defended his investigation.

I have to say, I didn't see that coming. I gave this outcome only a 2% to 6% chance, depending on whether the local DA was interested in filing charges.
