I would disagree on that and I have one example on that matter. Chris Mullin from NBA,we all know that he was a heavy alcoholic,but he admitted that due to his terribe migrenas he often used coke before the game(and we all know that there is no real actuall drug testing in USA sports,hocky and a.footbal especially) and to neutralize effects of box of beer in his stomach. Interesting thing that he showed the best performances when he was coked up.....in one interview after his career was over he said: "It was awesome.....you see all those guys trying and jumping all the way and then I score 30 like it's the matter of a joke,not a basketball....I was a god,they were my slaves"....as soon he started rehabilitation his career went downstairs.........but he's my idol
