CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Michael Phelps will swim in a meet in Charlotte in May, ending his three-month suspension for being photographed inhaling from a marijuana pipe.

Meet officials announced Tuesday that the Olympic great has committed to the Charlotte UltraSwim on May 14-17.

The Grand Prix event will be the first major meet for which Phelps is eligible. It will be his first tuneup before July’s world championships in Rome.

Phelps won a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics. A British tabloid published a photograph showing him with a marijuana pipe at a party in November at the University of South Carolina. He was suspended by USA Swimming.
