bbOlympic swimming champ Michael Phelps returns to in-pool action this week in Charlotte, but the same racy British tabloid which busted him smoking pot in Columbia in January is back with a claim that Phelps has enjoyed some quality time with a Baltimore stripper.

Theresa White, 25, says she hooked up with Phelps a couple times, once with another stripper joining in.

Is Charlotte ready for this kinda action? Is Center City Partners, which famously blanched at a Hooter’s going in the “wrong” spot Uptown?
