    I think things like this should be a wake up call to the fans.

    All "fans" hold their favorites on a high pedistal, and have a niave preconception about what they are like in person. Its very common to here fans say (when a fighter is accused of something) "No he wouldn't do that, he's such a nice guy" or something like that.

    These guys are only human. They are tempted by every evil you can think of.

    I have 4 teenage children, all of whom have considered Ricky to be a role model as well as the champion he was.

    Fortunately, my kids have all taken down their posters od him, rather than think that his actions are acceptable or worth copying.

    The fact remains that someone who can shove that amount of the white stuff up their nose so quick is not a beginner and anyone who thinks for one second it is ok to do it is very wrong.

    Like many people, I am sickened to the pit of stomache at what he has done.

    He has apologised to the family and everyone, so lets all move on.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Its usual practice to apologise after getting caught, whats next a career in politics. How about not doing it in the first place.

    What Ricky does in his private life is his business. Not his fault he was set up by a greedy back stabbing bitch.

    No one forced him to shove coke up his nose. But when a person like this, has been a role model to young people and we have paid for him to become a success, it becomes our business.

    Drugs are one of the biggest social problems we have and now its ok, rubbish, he's let everyone down and can nolonger be allowed to be a role model especially to kids, what message is it sending out.

    Not a very good one.

    I think we should be realistic about who we expect to be role models. Ricky Hatton's job was to be an aggressive fighter who was punching a guy in the face with the aim of knocking him unconscious or rendering him in a condition where he could no longer continue to fight. We did not all watch his fights because we thought he would do a lovely speech a local school faite!

    Nelson Mandela is a role model, Mother Theresa was a role model
    God is a concept, By which we can measure, Our pain, I'll say it again, God is a concept, By which we can measure, Our pain, I don't believe in magic, I don't believe in I-ching, I don't believe in bible, I don't believe in tarot, I don't believe in Hitler, I don't believe in Jesus, I don't believe in Kennedy, I don't believe in Buddha, I don't believe in mantra, I don't believe in Gita, I don't believe in yoga, I don't believe in kings, I don't believe in Elvis, I don't believe in Zimmerman, I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me!!
