Have you forgotten that the our Nation's attention span is akin to a Goldfish's? MANY athletes have admitted using drugs. Is this admission any worse than, say, Randy Moss smoking marijuana? Manny Ramirez using Steroids? Not to judge you, but it seems like your use of all caps seems to show that because he used METH (ohh..... scary, hard drugs!!! NOOOOOOOO), it makes him less than. I actually admire his courage to admit it. I can't judge his motives for divulging it (possibly to sell books, who really knows?), but I also can't judge the man.
