when you're an Olympian, you have to remember that your celebrity is "as an Olympian" and not anything else. Part of being an Olympian, especially a champion, is that you're the best in the world and you're clean. Clean means free of illegal substances.
Phelps threw the free of illegal substances thing down the toilet (with the bong water).
Whether people think that MJ should be legalized is besides the point. Phelps is no longer drug free. He could very well be steroid free, but it doesn't matter. He is admittedly no longer free from illegal substances. His sponsors had a problem with that and at least one walked. If the others don't walk formally, guaranteed they are renegotiating and invoking some sort of behavioural clause in there
