Michael Phelps reportedly skipped a scheduled speaking appearance at the IBM Pulse conference in Las Vegas Tuesday.
Phelps, the 23-year-old swimmer who won eight Olympic gold medals last summer, is embroiled in controversy over a photo that shows him smoking a bong. The United States swimming association suspended Phelps from competition for three months and the swimmer lost an endorsement deal with Kellogg's.
