Today's WTF?! Moment: Suspensions Happen

Losing sponsorships was expected. Too many suits, too-tight-neckties and pants pulled up to high to understand (and forgive) Michael Phelps. All this even after Phelps apologized for his actions.

Apparently, USA Swimming doesn't think an apology and humiliation is enough either. Four days after his apology and its acceptance by the International Olympic Committee, USA Swimming has suspended Michael Phelps for three months.

But really, a three-month suspension is what Phelps really deserved--it's just a little slap on the wrist.

It's nothing to severe. Phelps will miss like one event. It doesn't really hurt him.

It's just that USA Swimming felt like it had to do something, when it really didn't have to.
