A lot has happened for the Greatest Olympian Of All Time since then.<\/p>\n<p>Phelps received a suspended sentence for the DUI. He went into rehab. He withdrew from the world championship team and was banned from competition for six months. He got engaged. He relocated to Arizona. He posted the world\u2019s fastest times in three events and was nominated for three Golden Goggles awards. He\u2019s launched a line of swimwear under the \u201cMP\u201d brand in conjunction with Aquasphere.<\/p>\n<p>To mark the \u201canniversary\u201d of his arrest, Phelps posted a quote from the poet Rumi today on Instagram that reads:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.<br \/>\nToday I am wise, so I am changing myself.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Phelps followed it with this comment:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This day a year ago I found myself in a dark hole. At this point in my life today I can&#8217;t be happier !!! My life today with my fianc\u00e9e and my career is better than I could ever imagined. Going through the [things] I have gone through in the last year have changed my outlook on life.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Phelps\u2019 new view on life has manifested itself inwardly and outwardly. He\u2019s said he will not drink alcohol until after the Olympics. He\u2019s become more philosophical in interviews and press conferences. He smiles more. At the Arena Pro Swim Series in Mesa last April, his first meet after his suspension, he stayed after a few sessions had ended to sign autographs, a rarity for Phelps.<\/p>\n<p>Phelps\u2019 Instagram account has about 613,000 followers. With half of the day done, his post has received 20,300 likes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been one year since Michael Phelps was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and driving nearly 40 miles over the speed limit in Baltimore.
