Comments Thread For: Devon Alexander: My Opioid Addiction Kept Me Out of The Ring

[Boxfan83]

dont the docs get paid more if they actually prescribe them?

Yup and my workers comp was through federal employment so the Dr. didnt give a **** ass if I wound up sucking d1ck for a hit...

[PittyPat]

Can he also get medical help to stop him from yelping like a woman, pittypatting with his jab, never using his straight left, and running out of ideas after a few rounds? Count me in if he does. I was almost a believer after that Urango KO, but he just looked worse and worse with each fight after that.

Will be the same 1,2, 1,1,2 Alexander. Extremely basic, no special effects

Not really. The insurance rates are through the roof from liability cases and doctors in most of the US are being heavily monitored. Licenses are getting pulled quickly.

Liability suits are deafning and doctors are scared to prescribe because their losing lawsuits for 100's of thousands of dollars. The epidemic isn't new, its been going strong for 10 years and so big in fact they had to change the recipe for Oxycontin to make it so addicts couldn't lick the coating off and crush them to sniff easily.

I wish Devon the best, he's a cool guy and I want to see him succeed. Honestly, I think he's beng rather deceptive just like Oscar saying he had a drinking problem when it was really *******.

Devon is saying he had a painkiller problem for 2 years but Kevin Cunninghamd says 3. Nobody gets hooked on painkillers for 3 years. If you're from the hood and have your ear not even that close to the street you know that. You graduate quick. Cunningham said Devon was rushed to the hospital for a seizure related to opiates which is false. Only way he would seize is if he started shooting pills and had a reaction to the binders in pills.

Its more likely he overdosed on heroin, fentanyl, or heroin cut with fentanyl. Devon could never really say the word heroin because it would destory the career and how he's coming out looks like pre-emptive damage control incase someone says he was shooting dope. Also, the I got hooked on painkillers from surgery is the classic saving face with junkies. Very rarely true.

Cunningham says he knew something was wrong with Devon but couldn't figure it out.

Cunningham is a former Stl Louis narcotics detective nahmean? You see an opiate addict and its super obvious. They're voice gets low and gurgly, telltale signs are clearly visible. It's impossible to hide.

Whatever it was, I'm ok with it and I get why they would hide certain things from the public. Boxing is all Devon has and keeping his career going is priority number one.

of course, hence the epidemic

in my country, we had a recent outbreak of a certain condition, can't remember what it was but I remember reading about it..... then they realized, the sudden upsurge in diagnosis of that condition, was due to a 3-month "I]special[/I]" on the prescription " cure "

that is absolutely fkn absurd

yay capitalism

I don't know what country you're from but in the US the painkillers on the streets are coming from drug dealers. They secure prescriptions from terminally ill people in the projects with conditions like sickle-cell anemia and Stage 4 cancer. Doctors are scared to prescribe and in most states here in the US, it's very controlled.

The epidemic comes from the drug being so addictive. A lot of cats are doing fentanyl and the addicts of today can't get clean because fentanyl is the strongest opiate on the planet. Methadone doesn't work like it does against heroin and fentanyl is super hard to kick which is why so many junkies are dying.

I blame the Chinese people Devon.

Yea there is no treatment for that

Good for him ,opiates are hard to kick. Takes awhile for your body to recover from it
