kooka_lives - this case underlines the hypocrisy of society
But by the same token, how society turns a blind eye to pot use amongst young people but crucifies those who are in the public spotlight for the same offence, is a known quantity. Anyone accepting large gobs of sponsorhsip money must be aware of this as well as the other responsibilities and realities of the image they have agreed to portray. At the end of the day however, we have a 23 year old getting wasted with his college buddies, big friggin deal.

He should receive an asterisk in the record books like Roger Maris
Meaning, the guy must be quite a superior athlete if he can win Olympic medals and smoke pot at the same time.
