As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Kellogg’s decided not to renew the Olympic champ’s contract after a photo surfaced of Michael smoking from a bong. The swimmer has also been suspended from competition for three months by USA Swimming.

However, many of his sponsors, including Visa, Speedo, Omega and Human Performance Labs, have stood by Michael.
