US swimmer Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all-time, has been given a one-year suspended prison sentence after pleading guilty to drink-driving.

The 18-time Olympic gold medallist was also sentenced to 18 months of supervised probation.

During that time Phelps must totally abstain from drinking alcohol.

He was initially stopped for speeding after being caught going at 84mph (135km/h) in a 45mph zone.
