what the drug of choice.

Sorry but I still don't think that's enough info.

Fankie can drank a quart of vodka the night before and ride with a hang over the next day and it's OK ,but if he snorted a line a week ago it's a No no.

Not advocating the use of cocaine but if there is zero tolerance for one deabilitaing drug there should be zero tolerance for all deabilitating drugs, including alcohol.

I think its a questing of legality, alcohol is legal.

Cocaine use and posession is illegal, while Frankie be taken to court and prosecuted for drug use, nope even though he was caught while working and high.

What these sport "stars" need is a jail term for drugs and an attempted muder charge for endangering thousands of peoples lives.

Frankie endangered 1000s of lives ??

Nope, an airline pilot flying just under the legal limit for alcohol endangers 1000s of lives, not a Jockey that snorts a line every now and again.

True coke is illegal , just like weed, but endangering 1000s of lives??
