I wonder if he really was that incredibly stupid.
sure he was on stuff - they all are.
but they found winstrol crystals in his WATER BOTTLE!!

what idiot would be taking it in your water bottle to the events...
on the other hand it would be easy for someone else to put that in there and then suggest that they test his water.

in the T&F community many feel that, while yes he was on stuff, he was setup to get busted - they are all on stuff.

I feel that Ron Jeremy is a huge disappointment.

He could have had many more years of professional
level play if he would have stayed in shape.

It's sad to watch a pro in decline

Exactly, they are all on something. And he was the only one that managed to get caught.

I'll name some athletes who's career ended up like shit cause of drugs or just cause they sucked at the end.


- Hideo Nomo: will never be the same...

- John Daly (Golf - Alcohol)

-)

Nomo is 2-2 with a 2.5 ERA....... his best year he "only" won 17 or 18 games and I don't think he ever had an ERA below mid 2's.

John Daly...... dude hasw won $511K this year already and is ranked in the top 50.......hardly a career ended.

Just proves they're human...despite their abilities...


At least they had the opportunities....I bet everyone posting here would loved to have lived thru those opportunities....and some of us were fortunate enough to benefit from their lives......speaking from personal experiences.

He was a great sprinter. I love the way he revoultionized the start and demonstrated that muscular power is so important to sprinting.

He was a hero for a while there in Canada.
