He drank too much. Now he is seen using an illegal drug. Sounds like he has a problem saying no to “substances” that are illegal or illegal in the way he used them. If that isn’t a problem, what is?
He’s an idiot, and violated the law (twice) in any case. Oh, he’s a great swimmer, but he’s an idiot.
Sounds like he’s a high profile case for whatever agenda is working here. He’s a great swimmer/athlete. He’s not a role model for moral or legal behavior.
