There's like a ten page thread about this

2/1/2009 11:41:08 PM

marijuana is known to cause gills

2/1/2009 11:46:28 PM

this is really news?

ATHLETE TAKES A PERFORMANCE INHIBITING DRUG!! BAN HIM!!

2/2/2009 12:42:58 AM

so the fuck what

2/2/2009 10:56:56 AM

My brother goes to SC and I'm pretty sure he was at that party

However, there's no way to confirm it, because like me, he tends to forget things when alcohol is involved

big whoop

Have you been under a fucking rock the last 2 weeks??

2/16/2009 9:26:53 PM

???

they just dropped charges today

2/16/2009 9:30:12 PM

last I checked, an undated photograph of someone smoking an unidentified substance doesn't exactly count as admissible evidence in court.

2/16/2009 9:44:45 PM

just think, if he would have kept his mouth shut this would have all worked out for him

2/16/2009 9:47:50 PM

^What do you mean? The photo was all over the internet before he said anything, and he never admitted to it.

Quote :

""We had a photo and we had him saying he was sorry for his inappropriate behavior. That behavior could've been going to a party," Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said. "He never said, 'I smoked marijuana.' He never confessed that," the sheriff said."

He just apologized and said he made a bad decision. That was a good decision to say that.

2/16/2009 9:51:28 PM

oh i thought that he admitted to smoking it

my bad G

2/16/2009 9:53:08 PM

yeah, even if he did say that, so what? That's still not admissible.
People go on TV and radio every day and openly talk about smoking weed (and doing other drugs) and they don't get in trouble.

2/16/2009 10:03:04 PM

no but they lose sponsorship money

2/16/2009 10:06:52 PM

yeah, well, that's up to the sponsors. And it's their loss in the end, really.

But any talk about legal actions against him is ridiculous

2/16/2009 10:09:11 PM

yup

2/16/2009 10:09:54 PM

the whole thing to me seemed like a lame attempt to stay in the news by the sheriff, these guys are professional LEO's and they are trying to figure out if they can prosecute on a picture, come on.

2/16/2009 10:11:56 PM

yeah... all that taxpayer money spent to discredit a world hero because he smokes a little pot evry once in awhile?

OVER-REACTION?!?!?????

2/16/2009 10:55:02 PM

remember when those kids got in trouble here at state for posting pictures of them drinking underage?
everyone wanted to crucify the RA that reported them in...

they got in trouble for the pictures and suspended from school i do believe
