Grant Hackett.

OK he's admitted he has a continuing addiction to stillnox, he's just returning after 5 weeks in a treatment facility in America.

He has admitted this addiction publicly, has fought to overcome this addiction, stillnox can only be obtained with a prescription from a Doctor, so, why would he still be prescribed this addictive medication after going public about his addiction????

Haha so paint me green 😄

I saw this article today, and thought of this thread. Grant Hackett explains the situation that night himself, and that he had been given the drug by a doctor, as he had not been sleeping. He had not taken it for some time.

If you read the article, please read it right to the end.

(Just an opinion, not an response to anyone in particular)

Despite all the money spent on them and adulation given to them, Olympic athletes today are treated little better than battery hens: caged young, exploited for what the sports industry can can get out of them and dumped once they pass their use by date.

Watch the film Chariots Of Fire and ask yourself what has  really  been gained (or  lost) since that era in the drive for sporting excellence and the almighty dollar.
