Food for thought

Amid the media frenzy about Cousins and, more specifically, drugs, Paul Smith writes a column on News.com.au today that should give a little perspective to the debate.
Read it here.

In other news, Today Tonight left me reeling last night with a terrible - and I do mean terrible - segue into a story about the Ben Cousins saga.
It started out with a bit of a flashback to some of the sports stars of old - Betty Cuthbert, Dawn Fraser etc - and the dialogue went something like this:

"The sports stars of yesterday were true athletes. They did not need drugs to perform - that was crystal clear. These days, it's crystal meth..."

I was speechless.
