Calzaghe admits to cocaine use

[generalbulldog]

If someone is doing cocaine or drugs like that if it becomes an addiction(not saying it will) then people should get involved sooner. If your friend was on cocaine would you not do anything cause its his private life?

I know that question isn't directed at me, but I have friends who occasionally do hard drugs like cocaine and I have no problem with it at all. They're responsible adults and they can choose to act the way they see fit (again, within reason). If one of them because a heavy user or an addict, of course I would be concerned, but until then (and I doubt it ever happens) it's fine by me. It's no different than any who occasionally drinks heavily, like myself, and I'd wager it's probably on par in regards to the physical damage it causes.

What I will say to that is, that there is a reason cocaine is illegal and drinking isn't.

And what's your point?

Tobacco is legal in every country and studies have been done that shows how addictive the nicotine in tobacco is. In fact there was a study done years ago that came to the conclusion that nicotine was even more addictive than cocaine and heroin and that the relapse rate was higher than both of those illegal drugs.

How sad. I've gone from not really liking Calzaghe as a fighter to now feeling sorry for him. But none of this should take away from his accomplishments inside the ring, whether I liked his style or not.

Ok Cocaine is an Illegal drug, he is wrong for doing an Illegal drug in the eyes of the Law, but why the hell do some people automatically think that it is a problem? ( When I say problem the way I am reading through this half of you think he is gonna be 7 stone skeleton pawning his belts in the next 12 months! )

I have dabbled in coke plenty in past years some of my mates still do and I have no problem with that they all lead normal life's just cos Calzaghe has a bit of sniff doesn't automatically mean he is some fucking junkie who doesn't no when to stop.

I got dips on his WBA title

Haven't you already got one?? I thought everyone had a WBA title. I got mine as part-exchange when I traded in Hostel & Armageddon at Blockbusters.

Not a Super Middleweight one I don't. Middleweight and Welterweight only

Hes having a good time...snorting some coke....big deal......at least hes not beating on women (Mr Holyfield)....or raping some beauty queen (Mr Tyson).....or selling drugs (Mr Nunn)......he's had a great career and hes intitled to a little get out and do whatever....let the man be......the guys a freaking legend....he will calm down and see the light eventually...just let him enjoy it.....I think some people who pass judgement are jealous cause they would luv to be in Cokezaghes position....lol


Job Biscuit (Drinking some beer and snnnoooorrrtttinnng a BIG line)!!!


eh eh!!

Fuck man I wish Calzaghe would have known this fuck was a reporter when he had him in a room alone, could have beat the shit out of him. Or at least slapped him, it's what he seems to do. Undercover Celebrity Tabloid Writer is the most bullshit job title of all time. How the hell did he not know when the dumb fuck said he paid 250% more for a gram then he did, probably read it on a DARE pamphlet. What a fucking moron, Calzaghe didn't admit to cocaine use he was duped into talking about it with some fake fuckhead.

What i found the funniest was the so called ATG unbeaten boxing great , was featured on the front page of the News Of The World under this headline.

" Simply Star admits drug sessions " ( this is in reference to a reality dance show apparently )

So he is that famous a boxer in Britain this was the headline , lol

[Darth_Simasu]

The British gutter press in all its glory. Sure, I'm disappointed that a sporting idol I've followed all my adult life has sunk to the level of appearing on reality tv shows and publicly dumping a long term girlfriend for a bit of fluff. I'd also rather that drugs such as cocaine were wiped off the face of the planet ("dabbling in sniff doesn't harm anyone"? - the drug trade kills thousands across the globe each year in gang fights and misuse) but hey I'm not gonna waste my breath preaching to retards. However, I do feel sorry for Calzaghe, all this highlights is that he needs to grow up a bit. How ironic that despite his sporting achievements this is the first time he's made the front page of a national newspaper. Says it all about this hype em up and knock em down obsession the media has with our celebrities.

I've heard gossip of Calzaghe using coke in Cardiff on a night out for atleast 5 years so this isn't a new development unfortunately. Drugs and lack of morals have been around for centuries, it's a shame they're both becoming more widespread but I wouldn't go as far as saying JC was a bad person. Not at all. Oh and one more thing - Joe is as knowledgable about boxing as any of us here. He was clearly joking/being sarchastic about Hatton being knocked out by a 'nobody' so please don't hold that against him.

this is a very commendable post

[AdamGB]

I think the fact that it's his first headline and he is billed as "strictly star" says more about the sorry state of the general public than it does Joe Calazaghe.

$50 bucks says Crackazghe pawns all his memorabilia by the end of the month to support his new rock habit

Funniest quote of the thread award !

[smashup]

As he downed a glass of champagne Calazghe, 38, casually asked: "Have you got any stuff on you now?"

Ah man that shiit is classic. Kind of like Calzaghe now. He an alright cat. And he wants is to do drugs and fukk a bunch of whores. I fail to see the problem.

Finally we agree on something!!! hahaha

Don't see the problem either.
