The other question is; What does recreational drug use have to do with the integrity of professional sport? It gets more publicity than Joe the dishwasher, but how's it any more relevant to their jobs, and noone I've seen said he's doing coke during races. It might effect the marketability of the sport, but it's not like this is uncommon in the rest of society. If it's proven then he should be suspended under the agreemants he's signed. It's not earthshattering though. It's the Arizona Cardinal's getting their panties in a bunch over Matt Leinart partying with a bunch of HOT women.: http://www.latimes.com/sports/printedition/la-sp-leinart3apr03,1,153314.story

Riding just screws him up. He'd be better off of he never rode again and devoted his energy to getting his head straightened out.
It is really hard to see being a professional cyclist as a positive force in his life. At least it is for me. As a fan I am rooting for him to give it up.

Yes Bob you're right - I hope somebody can help him to understand that.
