Summary/ Reflection Gold Medalist Alex Schwazer

Summary:  Alex Schwazer an Olympic gold medalist is banned because of the use of drugs. He was using enhanced drugs to win the races. It was just only one day after winning the gold medal that he got kicked out of the London Games. This was a disappointment for everyone. Later, he gave a press conference but was just full of tears and very emotional. He spoke to the press that he was happy he was caught using drugs because he wants to stop and just start a new life and that he wasn’t made for using drugs.

Reflection: I think that it was good that he got caught but also because he doesn’t want to use drugs anymore so he is actually glad about it. You should always be honest since day 1 because if you’re not then you are just lost and you’re going to want to choose the wrong path all the time. Honesty is very important because that makes you who you are. Drugs is the worst thing you can do because you are just going to feel lost you lose family and friends when you get into those type of things so you should always just come clean about everything and not choose to do wrong because you are just hurting yourself.
