Meglet Jun 2017 8:13am, 24 Jun 2017 18,158 posts	Quote Pin Meglet I just thought 'what an idiot'. And what a shame for someone who had a promising career ahead of him. But I did admire his press conference, he came out and admitted he was stupid and wrong. Move on, give another young player a chance.
Meglet Jun 2017 8:14am, 24 Jun 2017 18,159 posts	Quote Pin Meglet And I'm interested in Velociraptor's comment. Isn't it possible he was a bit stupid/carried away one night and then got caught with random testing?
Badger Jun 2017 11:23am, 24 Jun 2017 8,486 posts	Quote Pin Badger TMW, a question for you - do you actually think that a professional sports player subject to random drug testing taking something he knows full well is banned is directly comparable to a random twenty something using the same thing recreationally? I don't. Airline pilots are not supposed to drink alcohol for 48 hours before flying. Different standard from the general public; no problem for you or me to have a nightcap 8 hours before getting up to go to work, provided we're sober enough to drive and work.
Little Nemo Jun 2017 11:51am, 24 Jun 2017 7,635 posts	Quote Pin Little Nemo He seems pretty self-destructive. He previously wasted his talent by not training properly. Now that he's buckled down and seen his results and ranking improve he seems to have thrown it all away again. I do appreciate that he's confessed to it and not tried the "I must have kissed a girl who was taking it" defence coughGasquetcough So I'd be happy with a one year ban and then allow him to come back.
Too Much Water Jun 2017 12:09pm, 24 Jun 2017 6,198 posts	Quote Pin Too Much Water Evans isn't harming anyone else by his actions. Is it irresponsible for a professional sports player to take drugs if he gets tested, yes I concede that but I fail to see how it impacts on anyone else.
