Despite widespread reports earlier this week, Subway is not dumping swim star and self confessed pot head Michael Phelps.

Rumors that the chain were to dump Phelps started after Subway removed links and references to Phelps from their website.

The firm said in a statement that “Like most Americans, and like Michael Phelps himself, we were disappointed in his behavior. Also like most Americans, we accept his apology. Moving forward, he remains in our plans.”

The apparent back flip from Subway comes as more people back a boycott of Kellogg’s, a company that has definitely dumped Phelps.
