I feel Fergie, The FA, The Olympic Committee and my parents should make the distinction between performance enhancing drugs and social drugs. To lump them all together is lazy, predictable and does not address the problem. Social drugs include tobacco and alcohol, which although legal, are far more damaging than marajana (in my opinion). Does Fergie's blanket ban apply to his beloved claret? Social drugs, by their very nature, reduce not enhance sporting performance. Any professional sportsperson should be big enough, old enough and ugly enough to make their own choices between attempting to reach the summit in their chosen sport, or have a good time. They shouldn't be punished by outside agencies which have a political agenda and not the welfare of the athelete at heart. Dave Blatt ------------------------ Yahoo!
