NOT SURE HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS ONE..

Belgian rockstar Tom Boonen had his cocaine charges just "go away" today because officials felt as though he had "paid enough" for his breaking of the law, this on the same day he won a stage in Qatar. I realize there are ALOT of conflicting issues here, and I understand this as not "performance enhancing" related, so we think, but what kind of message does this send to everyone else out there? I guess it's cool to PACK YOUR NOSE full of NOSE CANDY while you are the pride and joy of Belgium and the crushingest sprinter out there, but god forbid don't have a good day at a Grand Tour or you are automatically assumed to be a doper...it's an interesting debate I think.

So what's the big deal if Phelpsy is sucking down a little hoooooch with his bong water? Crap, give the guy more endorsements! As a matter of fact, I think this would be the absolute PERFECT OPPORTUNITY for McDonalds to get Phelps to put together a killer ad for the GINSER. Here's the ad.
"Who in the world can hold a bigger bong hit longer than Mr. Phelps?" He does a monster hit, then as he stumbles out of his home to walk to Micky D's, a bunch of little kids hit him up for his autograph, he then leads the conga line with all the kiddies to Micky D's where he buys them all 12 Ginsers and they munch out and then go to sleep. SUPER SIZED OF COURSE!

The Beloved Ginser, give me a dozen, I'm really hungry.
