“I engaged in behaviour which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment,” Phelps said in a statement.

When I was 14…

We all hung out at her house. We ate Cheerios like they were going out of style. We snuck out with boys after her mom was asleep. We always gathered up there and watched movies there or went out and then we’d all sleep over. It was a weekly thing, that was where the slumber [...]
