CALGARY, Alberta (AP) - Michael Phelps has been dropped as the keynote speaker at two events in Canada next week, with the promoter citing the Olympic champion swimmer's "widely publicized alleged use of marijuana."

Power Within Inc. of Toronto, which organizes motivational speaking events, canceled Phelps' appearances at events in Calgary and Vancouver, the Toronto Globe and Mail reported.

Power Within initially stood by the swimmer, but booked new speakers.

"Due to widely publicized alleged use of marijuana by Michael Phelps, the decision has been made to present the program without Mr. Phelps' participation," the company said in a statement.

A British tabloid published a picture of Phelps smoking from a marijuana pipe at a party in Columbia, South Carolina last November. Police said last week there was not enough evidence to charge Phelps, who won a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics.

Phelps has apologized for his actions, acknowledging he used "bad judgment" after the photo appeared.
