US swimmer Michael Phelps, the most decorated athlete in Olympic history, has been suspended from the sport for six months following his arrest for drunk-driving last week. USA Swimming announced on Monday that Phelps – who has 22 Olympic medals, 18 of them gold – would not be on the US team at the world championships in Russia next year, a key warm-up for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
