I thought jesus tattoos made you immune to illegal substances.

[Crazy Dude]

Tapia, age 40, will face drug possession charges as a plastic bag with ******* was found in his hotel room.

His wife should have gotten rid of that stuff.

That's pretty sad, I thought he was trying to clean up his act, I guess not!

he probably tried to, but the guy has a serious addiction.

he needs to be in a rehab center or something.

I feel bad for Tapia. Life has dealt him a very difficult hand. Apparently, his mother was ****d in front of him when he was just a little boy. He's had some other bad stuff happen too. I dont feel sorry for most addicts but Johnny is one I do feel for. I hope everything works out for him

Actually rehab doesn't really work, it's up to Tapia himself if he wants to be clean. I had a coke problem many years ago and I quit it without rehab and I've been clean for like 10 years now and I'm 100% sure that I will never touch that **** again!

I agree, its totally up to the individual. and I'm sure it is something that is really, really hard to overcome. Cong**** for doing good for so long.

Wow, a boxer doing *******.
I hope he recovers soon and kicks it.
