Just Google "pot belge"..
Its got its own wikipedia entry! Urggh.
I hadn't realised that cocaine was a performance enhancing drug; I'd always assumed that it was more of a party drug, and therefore if he had it in his system it wasn't anything to do with the racing but more to do with his heavy night out, the night before. When, presumably, he was off the clock as far as the team goes. (OK, still using an illegal class A drug, but that's a matter for the police not the sporting authorities, surely?).
I've always thought that, but then then talk about role model and that, but if you didn't test fpr it,. no one would know.
Also all they keep doing is publicising the fact that drugs don't stop you being a professional athlete, so the effct on the body can't be that bad.
Mind you in the pro pelton at 50mph down an alpine descent, I wouldn't want the guy behind or beside me to be high.
I guess. I hadn't thought about it like that...
Christ almighty, surely there are more appropriate drugs to be using!
It's like Studio 54 out there!
Amore & Vita on drugs NEVER!!!
