    Highly doubt any of those will happen, I realise you are not suggesting they are but maximums dont occur regularly

    A family member of mine got caught with 27,000 worth of cocaine and also heroine and only spent 18 months inside

    I just hope he sees sense if he is clever stays out of that business he could be potentially THE next big heavyweight that will be worth more than all the drugs he could possibly sell. He needs to keep focused though

    Basically he pleaded guilty, used a story about him being a bad addict and said he was made to take it down to brighton in order to clear his dealers debts.

    Worked well like, he did a few qualifications inside and works as a drug councillor now.

    Not surprising at all if I am honest.

    Hopefully no matter the verdict he comes away from this a better and wiser man.

    Not for me to judge the lad. Shame though...heard great stuff about him. Always the same though ain't it....quality prospect some how ends up messing things up in some way.

    Its frustrating to hear because he obviously must care about the olympics and wants to win gold because £50 000 for a pro contract for a 20 year old is a lot of money to turn down. So it can't all be about the money which is encouraging. he has obviously made a stupid decision and lets hope this gives him the kick up the arse to expel the negative influences from his life and focus at something he could potentially be great at
