Welcome back, Phelpsy! After serving out his three-month suspensions for the wacky tobacky, Michael Phelps is back in the pool and back on the competitive swimming circuit.

He’ll return to competition next week at a meet in Charlotte, N.C. It will be his first time swimming competitively since the Beijing Olympics.

“I’m happy to be back in the water and be back in semi-shape,” said Phelps, who’s lost almost 20 pounds in last two months. “I’m sort of getting back into racing shape and getting ready to race my first race since Beijing. We’ll see how it’s goes. I’m happy to have some structure back in my life.”

Phelpsy’s lost almost 20 pounds? That’s cool. I’m sure they didn’t come off the part of him I’m interested in, anyway.

I hope someone in Charlotte is bringing the weed.

PS — Love the new Speedo, Phelpsy!
