Richard Gasquet tested positive for cocaine

Serious problem facing Richard Gasquet after the French newspaper L'Equipe confirmed that the tennis player, had tested positive for cocaine in a review conducted after participation in the Miami tournament in March.

Is the amount? Ugh! You have found 1.46 micrograms of cocaine in his urine, almost three times what could be considered "accidental consumption. Gasquet, now ranked 23 of the ATP, could receive up to two years of suspension, although he hopes to prove his innocence.

Gasquet's case puts a little light on a problem that no longer surprises the world of sport, surely, there are many more cases than those that transcend, and that unfortunately only in the news are often striking, slashing with impunity sensationalism.

As in the case of swimmer Michael Phelps, I will not expose a false and hypocritical moralist view and pointing an accusing finger at these guys who must, live under constant pressure to achieve results, and although it may sound justification, I'll just ask Who can cast the first stone?
