Have you lost respect for Joe Calzaghe since finding out he takes *******?

[*2TOUGH*]

Because it harms people and cost society money. But since alcohol is legal due to culture I see no reason for (most) illegal drugs to be illegal when they are no worse. Many drugs, like maruijana is alot "healthier" then alcohol as well.

Prohibition doesn't solve any problems, countries that have tried to legalize drugs have even seen positive effects. Like Portugal for example.

On top of that, I don't loose respect for someone because they download music from the internet or driving too fast either. Why the hell would I give a **** about Joe partying in London with some white powder in his nose?

Its not the sort of thing you should be 'proud' of....

Just think of the children. THE CHILDREN.

I don't care if he smokes crack in his retirement. It's his retirement.

[Clyde Barrow]

No. That has **** to do with anything.

[IIG]

I don't have much respect for any fiends. But who cares what I think? Live your life.

[Thread Stealer]

No. He's not the head of D.A.R.E. or a sponsor for people in NA.

He's a boxer and my respect for him is as an athlete, not an upstanding, drug-free citizen.

[The Gambler1981]

Aslong as he is not doing rails while preparing for a fight, but he is retired and even if he should probably get help it was not during his career (or atleast did not appear to effect it) so he is still the same fighter to me.

Now if he comes back the ******* thing will come into my thinking but only in relation to how he will fight and what is he still capable of.

[angus the bull]

i have more respect for him now

[cleaner147]

no, I respect him even more.. ahahhahahaah

[Suckmedry]

Yeah, don't really care, not like it affects his achievements.

Sweet Pea was on coke too, don't see anyone badmouthing him for it.

[Fearless]

I never cared for Joe Calzaghe anyways, if he wants to powder his nose, then do it. It didn't effect him fighting did it?
