Michael Phelps Adds Another Honor to His Collection

25 Nov, 2014

 Michael Phelps has been crowned Male Athlete of the Year for a fifth time at the 2014 USA Swimming Golden Goggle Awards on Monday despite being suspended from competition for six months after a drunken driving arrest in September.

Phelps was not at the New York ceremony where Keenan Robinson, an official from his training base, accepted the award on his behalf and confirmed Phelps had returned to the pool.

The 18-time Olympic gold medalist stepped away from training in early October.

Olympic gold medalist and world record-holder Katie Ledecky capped her memorable 2014 season by claiming three awards, including USA Swimming’s Female Athlete of the Year.
