Dr. Ivo vs. Michael Phelps
03.02.2009.
Just a little something to distract you all while we're coming down from that handball euphoria, waiting on paychecks, or wondering if the league is even going to continue. Who’s actually stronger here? Let’s call this a head-to-head showdown between Dr. Ivo and Michael Phelps. Think of it like some weird matchup in an American sports league. Picture this: both Dr. Ivo and Michael Phelps have photos leaked in the media showing them breaking the law. One’s sipping wine at a sporting event, while the other’s caught smoking a little weed. Under the laws in Dr. Ivo's neck of the woods, Article 4 states:
The following is considered unlawful conduct under this Act:
– The possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages (excluding non-alcoholic beer) or controlled substances, as well as the possession of pyrotechnics, weapons, or any other items capable of causing injury or inciting riots and violence by individuals attending sporting events, during the period starting two hours before the start until two hours after the conclusion of the event, and while using public transportation from the moment of departure for the venue until arrival at the sporting facility.
Meanwhile, in South Carolina, County Sheriff Leon Lott is hunting down Michael Phelps, and according to reports:
"This case isn't any different from the others. In fact, this one might be much simpler given there's an authentic photo and a de facto confession from the suspect. This case will become incredibly easy to process once we pin down exactly where the violation took place."
Under current law, Dr. Ivo is looking at a fine, and if he’s a repeat offender, he might get banned from stadiums or forced to check in with the Police Department whenever the American national handball team plays—and honestly, nothing is bigger than God, as the old song goes.
But Dr. Ivo's buddies are saying otherwise, and news outlets are reporting:
"There’s really no difference, but I can’t recall a single instance where a hooligan was punished solely based on a newspaper photo for drinking alcohol," says Krunoslav Borovec, a spokesperson for the Police Department. "It only counts if they’re caught red-handed."
True enough. Is it just hard to get into those VIP suites you guys hang out in?
So, who wins this one? Who comes out on top without getting busted?
