Is that why he was so eager to get his wallet back.

I've just noticed today that Oscar has personally blocked me from following him on Twitter for asking him whether he still likes to get dressed up in womens lingerie.

I think cocaine is a lot easier to deal with if your an average guy who runs out of of money before pay day. If your skint, you can't buy any gear, so you can't afford to buy any. If you've got millions in the bank and it's readily available, then going from using to using heavily to addiction is very easy. I feel sorry for Oscar, because I used to work with addicts and no matter how much money they had, it's just as difficullt to kick the habit.

Yawn. Is it just me who assumes that when you're mega rich you have a troupe of dwarves who carry golden platters piled with virtual Everests of the finest Bolivian flake who follow you everywhere you go, & only if you get caught to the extent that it looks like you've had a bag of flour upended over your head do you then come out & say "Woe is me, I has teh drug problem" & book yourself the standard celebrity stint in a five-star rest-cure resort?

Andy, you are a cruel, cruel, despicable individual, twisted by hate & motivated entirely by vicious & horrid cynicism. I salute you, sir, & wish fervently from the bottom of my black & shrivelled twisted little heart that I had come up with that joke before you did. Top man.

Yeah even Sugar Ray Leonard admitted dallying with the white stuff back in the day after he first retired. Seems par for the course these days. Young guys, living a selfish, regimented life suddenly give up and haven't a clue what to do with their spare time.

I'm no fan of his promotional group, as you may have gathered, but it's nothing personal so I wish him luck with sorting his problems out.

Obviously have to be careful how I phrase this, but suffice to say that I heard about these type of activities from Oscar years ago from a very trustworthy source (he was still actively fighting at the time) so not remotely surprised that it's come out, just surprised it's taken so long to be honest.

Cannot say I'm surprised. Multi Millionnaire's with Cocaine habits are hardly rare.
As the late great Richard Pryor said 'Cocaine is God's way of telling you you got too much money.'
