Maybe Michael Phelps was just checking out new Olympic torch designs.

The Vancouver Olympic torch has been unveiled, and it’s generating a lot of buzz because it looks like something else that can actually give you a buzz. Locals have taken to calling it the Olympic Toke. Just look at the photo and tilt your head to the left.
