Cheating? I wouldn't call using illicit recreational drugs cheating. Ecstasy is hardly a sports performance enhancing drug. He struggles with addiction and depression and he admitted that to the world whilst being interviewed by one of his mentors. That takes alot of courage. Good on you Joey

@@mitch8649 Many of em do it. It's just cause he got caught. The team doctors give them Benzos to get to sleep. As far as role models go we should really be looking at parents. Blame everyone else it seems. We really need to have the conversation of how to regulate these drugs. We can't even get pill testing standard at festivals today. It shouldn't be a crime, it is a health issue. Pills are pretty standard for a lot of young people for the last 20 years. Good parents etc. Had a good time and worked and studied hard. I know many that are doctors, teachers, lawyers, tradies. Never had an issue unless they got caught and their record affected their employment. Pretty much all of them have gone on to family mortgage etc. like everyone else. I've seen alcohol do a lot worse. Nobody seems to have a problem with that still.

Drug cheat? Recreational drugs are not the same as performance enhancing drugs - least of all ecstasy. You wouldn’t have to search very hard to find studies that conclude alcohol is far more destructive than MDMA. He was battling his personal demons (in a questionable way I suppose) but that takes nothing away from the player he was on the field.
