Phelps suspended by USA Swimming, dumped by Kellogg's

Olympic great Michael Phelps has been suspended from competition for three months by USA Swimming as a result of a photo showing Phelps using a marijuana pipe.

USA Swimming also cut off its financial support to Phelps for the same three-month period.

In addition, Phelps has been dumped by sponsor Kellogg's.

The company put Phelps's picture on boxes of its Frosted Flakes and Corn Flakes.

Kellogg's said its contract with Phelps expires at the end of the month.
