The news that Michael Phelps is in danger of losing his medals has caused a stir in the world public opinion.The Olympic swimmer, who won 6 medals at the London Games alone, reaching a total of 22, made the mistake of participating in an Louis Vuitton ad, while, according to the Games rules, players participating in them are not allowed to participate in ads for a specific period of time after the Games. As for the London Games, athletes were not allowed to take part in commercials that had nothing to do with the Olympic Games from 18 July to 15 August.
However, the specific photos with Phelps were published on August 13. The fashion house stated that it is a leak of photos.
The Commission, according to a Daily Mail article, is now examining whether the advertisement starring the Olympian was actually published earlier by mistake or not.
However, in case it came out "on time", Phelps will lose his medals.
