Swimmer Michael Phelps Could Suffer Consequences For Photos

Champion swimmer Michael Phelps could be in trouble over some advertising  photos.  Shots of the Olympic champion promoting goods from luxury retailer Louis Vuitton were spotted on the Internet during the London games.  That could violate an International Olympic Committee rule that prohibits competitors from promoting any non-Olympic sponsors during the Games.  Penalties for the violation could be stiff.  An IOC rule says breaking the ban on promotion could lead to being stripped of medals.  The ad campaign was supposed to begin on August 16th, but an unknown person released the photos during the Olympics.
