Phelps was arrested on DUI charges last week and later announced that he's going to rehab.
The most significant part of the suspension is Phelps' exclusion from the world championships - which is the biggest swimming event before the 2016 Rio Olympics. Phelps is currently in the middle of a comeback with the goal of making the Olympic team. The world championships would have been a solid indicator of his intentions and form going into the homestretch of the 2016 Olympic cycle.
USA Swimming said in a statement that Phelps will also forfeit his funding from the national governing body.
