Tiger Woods has found himself amid a media firestorm, and Michael Phelps, like many celebrities is expressing his sympathy for what the golfer is going through. According to the AFP, Phelps said of Woods: "I'm wishing the best for him (Woods) and his family. At a time like this you see who your actual friends are and who supports you." He continues: "He is going through a hard time right now I assume, I've no idea what he is going through, but it can't be easy."
Phelps who understands what it is like to be the subject of a major media firestorm reflects on how it has made him stronger. Phelps says:" I'll be the first to admit I've made a lot of mistakes both in and out of the pool and, of the mistakes I made; I never made that mistake again. I think I've become a stronger person and I've helped other people not make the same mistakes that I made. So I feel I am a stronger person because of those."
Phelps' well-wishes for Woods come at a great time, as more and more rumors seem to emerge on a possible divorce. Hopefully Woods and family can settle what need to be done, and everything works out for the best.

Elin should dump Tiger, then he can join Amway along with his numerous "girlfriends", as Amway also screws anything that moves. Amway is a scam, and here's why: Amway pays out as little money as they can get away with, so they support the higher level IBOs ripping off their downline via the tool scam. As a result, about 99% of IBOs operate at a net loss, while the top 1% make several TIMES more from their Amway tool scam than from the Amway products. Read about it on my blog, I suggest you start here: Google "Amway the rest of the story" and forward the information to everyone you know, so they don't get scammed.
Tiger Woods thinks that his money can buy him invincibility but he's wrong. To think that he continued living his life as a single man while married with children is disgusting. His actions were dangerous especially with so many diseases he could or may have brought home to his wife. He may know how to golf but he lacks the intelligence and the dignity of a "true man" not just "anotomically a man". Let him chase balls if that's all he can do aside from chasing women. No longer a fan now or ever.
Frankly i dont give a two hoots if woods comes back strong or not. The hell with him, and his endorsements which i will boycott. Good luck Elin and i hope you are the one who stays strong.
