After being photographically busted for smoking weed out of a bong, Olympian Michael Phelps tried buy his way out of the incriminating photos before they hit press.

"There was an effort to purchase it, there was even talk of him writing a sports column as well for a period of time in exchange for not running it," a source told press.

"But the News of the World obviously knew what it had on its hands. They weren't going to play ball."

The pictures of Phelps were taken last November at the University of South Carolina.
