Tom Boonen

Cocaine was found following a doping control on Belgian sprinter Tom Boonen.  This is the second in-competition positive test for cocaine in a year and the third time since November 2007.  Boonen blames the pressure from the sport. He says he really has a problem with alcohol and has had a few blackouts.  The cocaine was to recover from the alcohol.  He says he needs professional help.  Let’s hope he gets it.
