Swimming superstar Michael Phelps' super expensive toke could have cost him his super fruitful Mazda sponsorship, but Mazda FAW seemed only to demand this quasi-sincere video apology to the youth of China.

We don't mean to imply Phelps doesn't truly feel sorry this all happened and doesn't understand it was a mistake. Compared to other busted athletes, he's doing a great job of accepting what happened. Still, maybe it's just because he tired, it looks like he phoned this one in.
