I took drugs my whole career: Andrew Johns

[gong_eagle]

so Joey has been living a lie for his 1st grade career

Bet Shannon Knoll's stoked coming up next, nice of Joey and Gus to warm up the audience for him...

Umm you're a fool, E causes like 1 death a yr. And that's not for you to decide. It's like saying someone who gets drunk is a total idiot...because you can die from alcohol poisoning (and many more people fo per year).
In terms of $$ spent on drug-related-harm, alcohol and tobacco are WAY WAY AHEAD and have FAR HIGHER mortality rates. So go campaign against them.

This is huge for Rugby League,arguably the best player of his generation...did drugs all his career.
Haters will have a field day.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Can you categorically deny E can cause death? If not, you're a fool.

Funnier still you ignored the rest of my post.

Why defend this?

one pill won't

two pills won't

6 or 7 in one night will

there's a reason why they're called overdoses

ecstasy would be towards the bottom of drug related deaths

Despite Johns being such a great player, his petulance turned me off him over the latter part of his career.

Watching this interview, it is quite evident that he is suffering from a Bi-Polar disorder.

Very, very sad.

Thats the condition I heard he has. Probably heard it for the 1st time 12 months back.

Why does that make it OK?

Your logic is f*cked.

 

[Cockadoodledoo]

Well at least we will never have to see him in that ridiculous neck brace ever again..

 

[drake]

Gus Gould's interview seemed to do two things besides give the Footy Show some ratings (first time I've watched in years)
1) He seemed to be warning other players that this is what happens, and it is not so hard a thing to happen
2)Offer an escape hatch for Johns as a reformed user helping others.

Johns looked like he wanted to vomit (I actually pitied tha foo') and Gus looked like he wanted nothing more to do with Johns.

Its pingers no big deal, alcohol cause more problems

 

[Cloud9]

The myth of the moral upright legend of the game is busted. He is only human. The media will have a difficult time coming to terms with the lie.

try telling that to those who don't know

 

[Timmah]

F**king morons in this thread condoning drug use. F**king tools.

 

[perverse]

i don't care what anyone says - that took balls. big balls.

it was a great interview and i guess my only hope is that he can turn it all around for his own sake. no matter what - he's still a champion football player in my mind, and always will be.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

get off your morale high horse dickhead alcohol is the worst f**king drug of them all

 

[eagle rock]

after some of Matty's "episodes" on the roast, maybe they could go for a 2 for 1 deal at rehab.

 

[Timmah]

try telling that to those who don't know

none of it is OK. What part of that don't people understand?

 

[innsaneink]

LOL...I bet in 20 or 30 years you'll have a different opinion.
