Michael Phelps blew a .14 in DUI test

BALTIMORE -- Police documents indicate that Olympic swimming great Michael Phelps registered .14 percent on a Breathalyzer test after he was stopped on a speeding violation.

The legal limit for intoxication in Maryland is .08.

The statement of probable cause by the Maryland Transportation Authority police also says Phelps' eyes were red and bloodshot, and "his speech was mush mouth."

Phelps, 29, was charged Tuesday with driving under the influence, excessive speed and crossing double lane lines in the Fort McHenry Tunnel on Interstate 95 in his native Baltimore, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority.

Second DUI in 10 years for Phelps. Time to get help.

I don't know if he has a drinking problem, because twice in 10 years doesn't seem to indicate that...he needs to be slapped around and understand when you get drunk you don't drive.
